If you want comfort and performance I would stick to gas charged struts. Personally I would go for Nitrogen charged struts rather than the conventional peanut oil in aftermarket or cheap OEM struts. It's much more comfortable, it performs better in all conditions, it pretty much lasts forever, in a majority of cases you can adjust the compression and rebound rates, whereas most of the cheap aftermarket solutions only allows for compression rates.

Its the other way around...

Hipermax II is more the track version then the RS which has a lower spring rate for street driving...

Either one will work, and you can always upgrade the springs later...

I have the HKS RS and I love them. Ride is very comfortable and just a little stiffer than stock. Definitely a great street coilover.
