probably tein basics because they are cheap, but I wouldn't recommend them. Do some research and make up your own mind what you are looking for.

I'm looking for whatever will get me the closest to handling like an Formula 1 race car.

KW V3 would probably be a good choice , then it bumps up to Ohlins.

Nothing that will dazzle on the shock dyno. I can think of a few I might try, but most I would not install even if they were given to me for FREE.

Can redefine what your really after? You've got the bar set way to high, too high to even suggest.

What do you want out of your suspension once it's installed?

What will you be doing with the car, track, auto-x, spirited non track fun or I just want the thing lowered?

What brands do you like?

What brands will you never own?

Define your budget.

Flex is also popular, but IMO more Basics are installed in comparison. Wonder if Tein itself has a opinion on what they have shipped more of in the states for the Z33 application, but I'm too lazy to make the call .

I'd be interested as well. I see more flexs up for sale and in people's sigs. but maybe I block the basics out in my mind
