Which coilover suspension is the best???

I want something for daily driving that will not compromise handling. Not to stiff and not to soft. Right now Im debating on the HKS Rs, HKS LS+, and the Tein CS. I have a stock G35 Coupe.

The "best" is always subjective.

Well, you should start by telling us what you don't like about your current stock suspension.. and what you don't like about it for daily driving..

yea well... for ultimate comfort i would think the tein cs with edfc would do it for you... rode on a friends g35c withthe same setup, and man it was smooth as hell still eventhough the car was slammed, plus the edfc makes tweaking it alot better and easier

well I just got the Zeal function V6 installed today and am LOVING it!

I'm sure all suspensions will be pretty good and I don't really have much to compare this one to other than the stock 03, 04, and 05 suspension. My car is an 03 and it has the crappiest bouncy suspension ever on a sports car. So the Zeal is just awesome by comparison. I have my stiffness set to 4 for front and rear and IMO it seems to be perfect for most driving that involves handling. I'd only go softer if I was drag racing. Anyway, I'm rambling but I'm enjoying the suspension.
