What Coilovers? Drop and feel like stock?

Hoping to find some good coilovers for a great price. around $1,000

This would be my first mod for my 2007 TL Type-S.

My goal is to drop it close to no fender gap and being comfortable at the same time (close to stock). I'd like to have adjustable dampers.

My friends are recommending BC.

So far on Azine, I see decent reviews on HT and XLR8 and Tein SS.

I was leaning onto XLR8 but I like the thought of getting edfc later on, but i am assuming it's only for Tein SS.

Sorry if this has been covered many times already. just a lot of mix reviews.

What you guys think?

The Tein SS will have the best ride quality, plus the EDFC compatibility. Get those.

I would recommend the TEIN Street Advance or the XLR8 ISC Coilovers with the Street/Comfort springs. The TEIN SA will be slightly more comfortable because it reuses the top upper mounts with rubber inserts. You can also use the EDFC with the TEIN SA.

But for $1,000 you won't be able to get the EDFC at this time. You can get the coilovers though. We have either in stock if interested.

I will place an order soon. are there any sales or promo codes i can use to buy from you xlr8? I've decided on the Tein SA after my research. Will be using my oem top hats since my car only has 24k miles, unless using base tophats makes that much of a difference?

Thanks everyone! I've placed an order for TEIN Street Advance. This would be my second set of TEINS. I use to have TEIN SS on my integra. Will post a picture when I get them installed!

Loving my Tein Street Advance coils. Bought them from Heeltoe using a coupon from our forum friend "swoosh". Great price for awesome coils.
