Hey I'm looking to get some coilovers for my 06 type s, but I don't know which ones to get . I've heard that progress is good but some people say others are.what are the top 3??

Depends on your budget.

If you are looking for cheapest good ones probably progress or tein would be good(I have progress)

Didn't have any other ones. People were going crazy over fortune auto coilovers last year. All the local guys kept getting them one after another based on each others recommendations. Never got a chance to ride in them though.

Thread will probably get closed because it is a very general and vague question. Your best bet is to look through show off threads or Instagram and ask around then make your decision.

Spent maybe about a year searching for the "perfect set-up" for me and, ironically, ended up getting the A-Spec coilovers lol. I got a brand new set for 525! I understand that the drop is mild, if anything, but with this being my daily I didn't want to sacrifice ride quality. If I were to upgrade in the future I would consider Progress also :)

Koni + Ground Control coilover sleeves are a good option and gives you an easy way to fully customize spring rates etc....(this takes a little modification to stock struts to install. Nothing super hard but necessary none the less.) For an inexpensive option that I've heard good things about and have driven, Ksport makes a nice set for the RSX. They are pretty stiff though, if your daily your car that may be an issue. For me, I went koni+GC because I wanted the lifetime warranty on both my sleeves and struts.

depending on the application, driving abilities, other components setups, user preferences, etc there is no best out there or ever will be. what works great for some will be horrible for most and reverse, you have to know what you're looking for and how you drive when you mod anything major on a vehicle.

to truly get something you like, you'll have to test a bunch also mix and match a couple of different components to get that exact feel and characteristic out of your coilovers system. no one in here can say to buy a brand, slap it on, and say that's the one anyone else should buy...at least without some major details on that person

far too vague of a question. I researched for over a year and a half until i purchased mine and I'm quite satisfied. I got Ksport Kontrol pro and they were just under 1000 bucks, 32 way adjustable dampening, and a 1 year warranty. plus they have adjustable camber plates. It is true that they are quite stiffer than stock, but if u want a nice soft ride don't buy coilers at all...
