Default Which coils to run for non-staggered setup?

Guys, got a question.

I'll soon be on a non-staggered setup (17x9 +45, 255 tires all round). Which coilovers are you guys running?

I missed out on the group buy for KW clubsport for square setup. So I'm trying to find something specific for square setups, or what other options are.

Also, would the regular coils, intended for staggered, be suficient? I'm eyeballing the KW V3s and want to make sure they offer enough adjustability despite being meant for staggered.

I don't care about ride comfort at all, just after pure performance within a reasonable budget.

Thanks!

If I had the money I would go with evasive spec tein SRC's. Typically non stag setups run more spring in the front to somewhat counter act the over steer, a 12k up front and a 10k in the rear is typical.

you would want to pay more attention to different spring rate set ups and possibly sway bars, compared to the actual coils (they are important, but there really isn't a coilver that is "made" for non-staggered setup because you can change the dynamics of your suspension so much)
go on the non-staggered thread, it will help a lot

from what i've read awhile back, 12k front and 10k rear springs is a common set up with a stiffer front sway bar. heard it helps a lot to have a trunk spoiler, if you plan to track

Thanks for the suggestion, this looks like a winner.

Do they come with 13/11K springs in the box, or do i have to specify when ordering through the vendor?
