Suspension debate in my mind

I keep debating between three coilover setups for my G, and I still can't decide which one to go with. All input is greatly appreciated, thank you. I'm looking into these coilovers because I wish to maintain driving the car on a daily basis, aswell as taking it to the track on weekends.

The three i'm deciding between are:

- STANCE XR
- KW V3
- BC ER

Also if anyone has any other coilovers to recommend, they are welcome to do so.

Thanks to all who post

Stance and JIC make the best coils on the market.
I use my BC BRs on the street only but they have 30 way adjustable dampening so I'm sure if you took them to the track they would do fine

BCs ride close to stock. I have 20"s so my ride has always been a little rough.
I will say that my BCs feel more comfortable and closer to stock than my old setup eibach pro kit and stock shocks.
Most of the time when you go lower than stock you're going to sacrifice ride quality. There are some coils focused on ride comfort like Tein comfort sport but they cost almost double what BCs cost.

Im also on 20" and want a moderate drop And playing with the dampening i should be able to make it more comfortable right? Also would i need front camber kit or i can get away with just rear?

You'll definitely want front and rear camber kits If you want near oem camber specs. And my BCs are set to full soft. And ride is comfy, but not quite stocklike.

im on Greddy...never had anything else. im about 95% low and about 90% stiff.
32-way adjustable. i have great track performace. But not sure if they are $500 better than BCs. Plus im locked into 10k/8k springs according to greddy. They wouldnt let me order stiffer ones. I hear megan makes a good coilover for the money, and BC seems to be the most popular, probably the safest choice.
