For myself, I wanted to enhance the handling performance over my existing aftermarket set-up for spirited weekend twisty runs . . . While attempting to maintain a certain ride quality as a daily driver, as well. Believe me, I was quite cautious in choosing a set-up, as I work in the San Francisco Downtown/Financial district, which is filled with pot holes, dips and bumps.
After much research/consideration and speaking with other local G members, I finally decided on the Tein Basic coilover. The said has met all of my expectations in what I was searching for.
Consider the selection process based on your needs and requirements. That said, hopefully, you will settled on a set-up which you will be really pleased with.

I am going to be riding on 20x8.5 in the front and 20x10 ( iForged ) in the rear, with my tires at 245-35-20 and 275-30-20. I want to drop it so that there is no gap at all and it sits very aggresively
I also plan to buy stillen sway bars and a camber kit (not sure which brand yet..if you want to suggest one) for the rear and throw them on at the same time as my wheels and coils
I think I have narrowed it between the KW V2 and the HKS, probably the RS
Which do you think I should go with??
Comments and suggestions would be greatly appreciated and very helpful, as I am purchasing them as soon as I can decide, hopefully by friday.
I have ruled out JIC because I heard it was a very stiff set-up...and silkroads cuz they are so hard to get...
