For just enthusiest driving, and not serious racing I would say tein, and even possibly tein if you were racing.

you really should search to see peoples reviews that they have posted.

you should also provide more info...

what will you use them for? i assume not for tracking...

what is important to you? ride quality? or do you want it just for looks? do you have a need for edfc?

look into tein basics or any hks coilovers. depends on your budget and what your purposes with them will be.

i've been looking into getting a set myself, mike from intense suggested the HKS LS coilovers or the tein Cruising Spec Coilovers for a good combinations between performance and comfort. Personally i think i'm leaning towards the HKS.

Tein Basics all the way baby....I've got them on mine and in my opinion the ride is not harsh at all. And you can't beat the price.....

teins overrated, basics are too basic, I'd go with stance, buddy club, silk road, cusco, Bilstein, or HKS.
if you need something as cheap as the basics, i'd go with the tanabe's instead. IMO

tein basics are all most people need..

most people here wouldnt be able to justify the prices of those other coils b/c of their purposes with the coilovers..

i don't see why someone would choose tanabe's over basics if they are looking for coilovers. the whole point of coilovers is to adjust the height. tanabe's are great springs, my top choice if it werent for coils. but they are two differen things and cant replace each other...

I'm more inclined to recommend restraint spring rate wise when ride quality is mentioned. Expensive valving allow's higher spring rates to avoid nasty behaviors that ruin the ride and drive experience, but spring rates don't operate in a vacuum, though I definately myself prefer higher rates.

Bilstein Pss9
Tein CS
Hks LS or RS
