Default Coilovers for a daily driver

Looking for some coilovers for my daily driver and was wondering if I could get some recomendations. I was just looking at the BR Coilovers but still looking for more ideas.

Reason being is im not babying my S2K so I would like to enjoy it slammed in the summer and be able to run out for a track day but once winter hits be able to bring it back up and drive it daily.

Whatever you get, just keep in mind that the camber & toe are both affected whenever you adjust ride height. So, plan for the cost of re-aligning, otherwise you'll be eating tires.

I am anxiously awaiting a set of KW v3. I did research on quality suspension that would have the capabilities I (like you) was looking for, which was DDable and trackable on the weekends.

Depends what you're budget is but the KW v3 have an excellent reputation, warranty, and from what I've read will do what you want.

Has anyone tried the KW Variant 1's? All I ever hear about is the V2's or V3's.

For DD duty the Bilstein PSS9s can't be beat.

For occasional track days I'd spring for the KW Variant 3s.

What's an acceptable price to pay for PSS9's? I saw a couple places charging around $1300, but then I saw Vivid Racing was charging around $2000 wtf?

Vivid = wtf. I wouldn't ever buy from them. Their reputation got so bad, they started up another company called Agency Power and run both at the same time.

Oh, and to the subject, what's your budget?

I've always been a fan of Koni's....
