Default Help - Considering Coilovers

Ok, I've used the search function for about 20 minutes now and all I'm coming up with are posts that are like, 6 years old.

I'm looking into getting coilovers but I would like some info from you all that have them already.

What are some brands to consider?

I'm looking for something affordable and not too outrageous. I don't drive the car "a lot" or on a track, just street use. I'm not looking to "slam" it, just get rid of the wheel gap, I've got stock AP1s and I don't want any issues with rubbing. It corners amazingly already, I just want to be able to lower/raise it at will.
Any help you can throw my way I'd appreciate.

Thanks

buy springs. for under $1500, you're going to be limited on good quality coilovers, I think.

Buddy Club RSDs are nice coilovers for around $1000. Pillowball mounts included for are $300 extra or so, some say you should get them some say it doesnt do much.

Cheaper are Megans and the Apexi exv. I would get the Track vers of the Megans over the Apexi or the Street Spec.

I'd rather have a NICE set of springs than a SHITTY set of coilovers.

Nice sets of springs also cost less than shitty sets of coilovers.

You'd win twice.
