Default Looking for daily driving coils

Im using the car for daily driving and would love the advantage of adjustable ride height. I might Auto x the car once or twice a year for fun but mostly its just for daily. I did a search and didnt really come to the right answer but anyways.

So whats a good coilover system for the streets? Bilstein? Teins? GP sports?

i would just go with a nice pair of struts and springs. too many people buy coilovers and never even use them to their capabilities. it seems like you just want a good suspension setup for sprited driving so i would encourage you to save your money and go with a cheaper set up.

I'm running the Tein CS coilovers, they are meant for street driving and very comfortable for daily driving. They can lower the car approx 2" and the spring rates are slightly higher than stock, even when they are set on full firm they feel comfortable.

If you want something a little more aggressive, you can try out the Tein RA coilovers, they come with 10k spring rates all around which are pretty rough for daily driving. But you can custom order them with softer spring rates.

Buddy Clubs are good also, but they only come in 10k spring rates, which i have heard to be quite harsh for daily driving with aftermarket wheels...
