Default Need advice on Coilovers

Looking at the reviews on the sticky thread & some of the reviews posted through a search function, I've narrowed down my choices of coilovers to the HKS Hypermax II, & Zeal V6.

I use my car as a daily driver to work about 30 miles a day (local streets), and mostly as a street car. I'd track the car but I do not have the funds to do so regularly so throw that out the window, but I will do canyon runs occasionally with friends. Given that list of uses what would be the best coilover of the two to get for stock level of comfort in ride, ride-height adjustability, ease of dialing in settings, performance, & price?

I think I also heard somewhere that HKS was making an electronic controller similar to Tein's EDFC is this true?

I thought it was Zeal that's making the electronic controller, was it HKS?

I have heard that HKS does not sale the Hypermax II in the US anymore. You can get it, but they have to buy it from HKS Japan and you lose your warranty. The next best HKS is the RS.

for all around streetability and the ability to quickly and easily get your coilover rebuilt in the future, I'd look at Zeal and nothing else

zeal + 1
zeal is making a damping controller.. but it will most likely be expensive and they said it was for track use.
www.endlessusa.com
speak w/ them to get more details.
but i had the zeals.
also the v6 is discontinued..
it is now the X or Xs
x = 30 way adjustable for track/mild street
xs = 6 way adjustable for street/track.
the v6 and b6 from zeal has been discontinued..
i just can't wait till zeal comes out with the function x double adjust =)
