So how about some help!

So I just got some brand new goodyear assurance triple tred tires 205/60 15's and i found out that i need to redo my whole suspension or these 80000 mile tires will start showin wear after only 1000 miles. so im gettin some hawk ceramic pads in this week and i also wanna get some new suspension but i dont know who to go with right now im lookin at Megan, tein, or hks in that order. any review on whos the best. i don't want to lower my car; an inch at the most and i want some hardcore suspension so let me hear what you guys got to say on what brand would steer me best.

Hahaha i like that megan, tein and HKS haha if you can afford HKS get them. Those are 3 very different categories.

There is no best in this category only opinions. If you dont wanna lower your car then get shock and spring combo. Then with all the money that u saved, finish the rest of the suspension.

If obvious you have no idea what you are talking about. Do somemore research suspension is more than just coilovers.

/Life.

Grab Stance Coils!

the MM means how stiff the coils are.

IE: 6mm Front 9mm Rears.

Those are mine, and if you don't like stiff, then **** out of luck.

For me, they are perfect, ( a bit stiffer would be better..10/8's)but for an average person they can make a ride really uncomfy.

+ 40series tires.

YES!

I dont get it readin your post seem that you did VERY little research. Your just throwing out company names and product with out knowing what they do.

This is done.
