Default coil over question

so to give you guys a little background i have an 07 s2k with 65,k on it. just got it a few months ago and so far all i have added is a q300 exhaust but for my next mod i want to elimanate the wheel gap. i would preffer i decent ride quality and decent price. far as my needs i dont autoX but do take it to the mountains for some spirited driving , i have been looking around and so far i think the bilstien pss coilovers would fit my needs nicely since i dont think i would ever adjust the dampening also price is pretty reasonable. im looking for a mild drop not "hella flush" i live in socal so i dont worry about snow. What are your thoughts any suggestions?
also i dont think i would want to do springs being i cant edjust hieght if i were to get rims.

I'd go for those. Great set if not intending to track much. Sould give you w nice ride with them Much better than the cheapo brand ones most go with now! Good choice!

Edit. Pss9's would be the ones I'd go with.

the pss9's are the ones you really want but nothing wrong with the pss's either.

Get the pss9. You want to be able to adjust your damping. They are nice riding coilovers, feel about as close to stock ride in a aftermarket coilover I have felt, but a bit soft for spirited driving, as a result so you will want to have the ability to dampen them up some, and since you are lowering the car. A one ride fits all is really lousy on the S I feel, when you have the option of adjustability for not that much more.

We really push the Fortune line over anything else in this price range. Fortune really gives a lot of value over BC and Stance. You get to choose your spring rates, have reasonably priced upgrade options, and get the proper valving for your spring rates. Not to mention you can rebuild and revalve your setup right here in the states with an included 1 year warranty.

We have many customers that find the FA line to have everything they need in a DD coilover setup. The roller bearing upgrade and helper springs add even more comfort for your day to day drive.

you wont be disappointed with the pss's. they are super smooth for daily driving.

only reason i got rid of mine was because they couldnt go low enough for me.

pics of them at the lowest setting on all four corners..
