Default Coilover Recommendation Poll~~~~~~~

Been doing some research.. but still need some help.

Car is daily driver, never will be tracked. Just spirited driving.

Main concerns are:

1. Quality, dont want it crapping out on me

2. Noise, i know all make some noise.. but ya know.. the better one lol

3. Noticable performance over stock.

also if you have any recommendations chime in please! seems like HKS Hipermax LS is also good as far as what im looking for? and tein basic lol

Bilstein or KW by a land slide. I think the Bilsteins will be smoother, and its a little nicer since the springs are more linear (front is, rear isn't but less progressive than KW's).

Hypermax's (not sure about LS, heard more about regular Hypermax's) are good, a little stiffer, a little more track oriented but comfortable enough for street, but won't be as comfortable as the two above.

Just and FYI—Bilsteins are not about dropping the car ridiculous amounts...especially in the rear. search "bilstein" in thread titles and there are a few good threads about them on here.

i think you can go as low as you want in the front and the rear leaves you with a 1 finger gap from tire to fender if you remove the threaded collar...

I have Bilsteins...Definetly happy with the ride quality. But the drop in the rear was not where I wanted. I took out one of the threaded locking collars but still wasn't enough. I'm dealing with it just based on I wanted coilovers for performance not stance. But I will say, my friend has Stance GR+ (i believe) and is already pretty slammed and can still go a lot more.
If you want to see pics of mine, I have a thread with Bilstein in the title. My buddy with the Stance's username is Vispre. Just search that and you can see how is stance sits.
I will say the PSS ride amazing - But if I were only going for a DROP then I'd probably go Stance.
