Coil overs with similar to stock rise height?

[IHadToRun]

Been juggling the idea of getting coil overs and wanting something with similar to stock ride height maybe a tad lower. Any info on brands and knowledge is welcome.

Most coil overs on the market can achieve stock height. What other things are you looking for?

My buddyclub coilovers don't go so low maxed out. Maybe that's what your looking for.

Was looking for a bit more stability for going through canyons in my area. Can feel the back end wanting to kick out a little and some body roll.

A good entry level coil over would be the Tein Flex Z or Fortune Auto 500. But tbh I would recommend just getting lowering springs like Swift or Eibach.

Cheap coils aren't what you need. Add a good adjustable rear sway bar if you don't want to lower the car.

I’ve considered the idea of lowering springs a lot but due to the steep apron for my driveway and for most local stores I’m trying to avoid lowering much in anyway.

Have considered swapping sway bars, you know off hand if it’s recommended to just swap the rear? Or both?

For street use:
FWD = swap rear sway only
RWD = swap front sway only

Are the endlinks included with the RV6 say bar worth the extra ~$140 (compared to the RV6 sway bar without endlinks)?

I went the all in approach and really like the unit. Whether it is for you is up to you. Upon greater reflection, since my class (DS) doesn't allow spring swaps, the only choice I had was to keep stock shocks (which are actually a coilover in and of themselves by definition) which are pretty damn good and mess with one bar, or I could opted for DA units like what MCS or other manufacturers put out. I would not opt for lower cost coilovers as what you really have is one part damper and one part spring plus an adjustable perch. Typically, what you pay for is better dampers when you get to the point of appreciably being better than the CTR units.
