Default Favored Coilovers?

Looking to pickup some full coilovers (or maybe even some GC w/koni shocks?),mostly street driven,a little drag and hopefully some auto x and/or road racing.....whats the favored coilover setup around here?just looking for a good all around coilover and some ups and downs of a particular setup you have used


*edit*ive seen 2 of the several options available saying that the height adjustment was between 0-2.....is that common or what?bc id kinda like to be able to lower it more than that....

I'm not sure saying "oh and I want to autocross" after saying "Please help me pimp my ride" qualifies your topic as competition related. You'd have better luck in S2000 Talk or Under the Hood. The only thing you'll get here I fear is abuse.

1st i dont think anyone should cut their springs, but that's just my opinion.

2nd. i dont think lowering the 3 to 4 inches will help your street drivability, nor autocross performance.

like trivium said, 1 inch is sufficient, and if you want more, then go with 1.5 inches. anymore just takes away from the car.
