Default Coilovers for stance/track

Hi all,

I am looking to purchase coilovers, however with so many options I am not sure which ones to pick. I know internally BC, megan, Ksport are all the same. However, I am looking for coilovers that will drop super low as well handle on the track.

I was thinking BC Racing, Megans, or even H&R. Figured I get the experts opinions from here.

First...get a new driftshaft if you haven't done so before dropping your car SUPER LOW..
Check out Roush track pack. It might work the best since you have a Roush body kit already. At least you hit less stuffs on the road..lol...j/k..

Why do you recommend a new drive shaft? I come from the lexus scene so this car is fairly new to me Can you please link me your recommendation.

When you say super low, how many inches do you believe the car can handle before needing a new drive shaft?

You don't need a new driveshaft idk what the he'll he is talking about. I'm on BC coilovers and I enjoy them. You can only get so low with this car because of the solid rear. Handling wise when I race I raise the car up prior. Ignore the drive shaft commen he has no idea what he is talking about

Iv done some research some people say it's a clearance issue? But if you're rocking BC with no issues then ill just start with the coilovers, if I do encounter problems then ill go from there. thanks man!

Im as low as te damn coils will go in te rear and don't rub. Pinion angle really doesn't cause a problem. You can slap the coils on an go no problems. It isn't ideal but fine none te less
