ive read a few bad things about buddy clubs quality (ie: leaking shocks) on here but i have no first hand experience. i dont think you can ask for "the best" as there probably isnt a best one. its up to you and what you want to do with the car. i have KW variant 3's on my car and the quality so far is exceptional and KW has quite a good reputation. Find out what type of features you are looking for in a coilover and narrow down your question a little bit.

coilovers are different depending on what you're looking for.

If you want it just for looks, why don't you save some cash and just buy lowering springs that are designed to work with OE dampers (i.e. Spoon Progressive Springs, Eibach Pro-Kit, Espiler, etc).
