Default Buddy Club N+ or similar

I am looking for a coilover that will preform as good as stock in everyday situations. I do not track my car. I want to lower my car but don't want to be stuck with a certain height. I want to spend $1200 or less. Anyone got any ideas on a set up or comments on the Buddyclubs?

Thanks

Last I heard, Buddyclubs weren't made in Japan any longer. Anyone correct me if this is untrue. A friend of mine just installed Bilstein PSS9's on his '06. He seems to like them. I believe you can get T1R's for about that price.

You could also do Koni's and springs

Look into the Megan race coilovers, they are rebadged Apexi coilovers.

Maybe but the Bilstein's have a better reputation for better build quality and are relatively soft yet maintain great handling characteristics.

Because Apexi is an extremely well known brand and knowing that Megan race are simply rebadged Apexi coilovers essentially translates into getting fairly expensive Apexi coilovers for <$900
