Which Coilovers

I have a 2006 GS AWD on Tanabe NF210s and SPC camber kit. Im in need of shocks/struts and i'm thinking about switching to coilovers since the price is almost the same. Which coilovers will give me the most comfortable ride? Im not sure if coilovers can give me a spring rate near my NF210's or if there is an even softer rate. I lowered the car mostly for appearance with my 19" vossen setup. Thanks for the help.

comfortable is all subjective to the driver. you have an awd so your choices are limited. i believe the only 2 companies are bcr and megan. i had bcr for a couple of years and i enjoyed them. for the price, imo they are well worth the money

I personally don't have either, but from the consistent searches and from what everyone I know keeps saying is that Megan Racing isn't that great and is decent in terms of quality. Also seems like bcr is very favored on this forum and a few others

I'm looking for a good balance between sporty handling and a softer ride

A small rattling noise from the front passenger side, loud bottoming out noise and it doesn't have to be that steep of a dip in the road, and my shocks feel bad after having the springs for about 3k miles. I'm sure it was about time to get new shocks when the springs were installed however.
