There are thousands of threads on this. You're not going to get a straight answer, because there isn't one.

Suspension is about preference as well as performance. There is no 'best', though people have their favorites.

I'd recommend reading some reviews (search), and then buying which sounds best to you.

it depends on how much you want to spend and what you like to do with it... like mines i got megan street series cause i do some track and daily driving... but it all depend on how much you want to spend only... and yes the megan are a good price for a complete coilovers but at the same time its pretty expensive

I have Rs*r springs with Kyb agxs. The springs are stiffer than eibachs but slightly softer than tein..... I think. The kybs work best at higher damp settings but have a little more rebound than other shocks. besides that, it's a pretty decent street setup.
