Hey everyone, I'm pretty new to cars and just got and eg hatch and want to get some coilovers for it. I am just using this car for daily driving for the most part so I want a pretty smooth ride but its not that important. I would like to keep the cost pretty low so if you guys could give me suggestions I would appreciate it. I have no idea what websites to look on for parts or anything so if you guys have a good place to look for parts on that would be great.

Thanks :thumb:

From experience, there is no such thing as a smooth ride when coilovers are installed. What I mean by that is...you will ALWAYS feel the imperfections of a road. The smallest crack, bump, dip, etc. will feel like your car got hit!

Here are some websites though:

Performance > comfort. It isn't possible to claim both ;)

Most coilovers have the option to set them harder/softer, witch make it livable, but it still isnt comparable to OEM shocks(But hey! they suck :P).
