Default which coilover to get

I was in the market for coilover.
I recently found used GT motoring challenge coilover (14/14) and HKS hipermax for sale.
GT motoring coilover was price low 1000s and HKS was priced at mid 1000s.
I already did a track day and will be attending more events. my car is DD too.
which one do you recommend?
thanks in advance

Yeah, 14/14 is waaaay stiff. Your balls will be bruised just daily driving. Try to find something in the 8/10 range. What's your price range?

For a daily driven vehicle I would reccomend the Skunk 2 pro C coilovers. Ther just under 1500 and have polyeurathane in the top mounts. Much more pleasant to daily drive than all of the other coilovers that have pillow ball mounts. I'm going to pick up a set of these as soon as I find a local supplier that is willing to price match.

There is a vendo here on S2ki that has them posted for 1250 shipped. check the handling sponsor forum
