are you looking for a true coilover or a spring/strut combination? im using the whiteline springs with KYB AGX struts and i like them alot. they retain a decent ride if this is gonna be ur daily driver, drop the car to a nice level (1.75" F/R) that gives the car a very sporty appearance but not so low that you have to worry about bottoming out every second your driving. i noticed reduced body roll the first time i took the car out with them on and when i added the whiteline sway bars it reduced body roll even more. also you might want to look into the eibach springs which are quite popular. also, check out the stickies in the tires/wheels/brakes/suspension forum. they will give u alot of info.

I would like to be able to adjust my height. I dont do much racing but what little racing i do is drag. I'm leaning towards the Tein SS or the Tein basic. I just want a quality coilover thats not going to break the bank.

Tein Basic is the cheapest so far(that I know off)....or buy used coilovers...
