Default Who Really Loves Their Coilovers?

I'm currently running Tein Comfort Series Springs on Stock Struts but my Stock Struts have gone out so its seemingly more cost effective to switch to coil overs which ill probably install myself vs changing struts and strut mounts which i dont wanna deal with.

I've seen Megans advertised online and I've seen one of our CL sponsors promoting BC Coilovers (some with Swift upgrades). What I'm looking to maintain is my current drop 1.3 F and 1.5 R. While getting an improved ride over the Tein Springs. With a daily driver urban mentality what are you guys thoughts on any brand based off experience as the best bang for the buck?

Also, I'm trying to keep the costs as low as possible, i would love to splurge and go with air ride but that seems to be double the cost and i need my trunk space.

I'm considering running Tein Comfort Sport Coilovers. How would you say your ride with the Tein compared to stock? It is my understanding that the Comfort Sport enhance ride quality?

How low can you guys get with different brand coilovers, I just bought and SC430 and put on my recently rebuilt Bazreias in 10.5.fr and 11.5s in the rear. Looking to slam as much as possible and flush out the lips to the fenders as I did on my UCF10. Just looking to see what will give me a good drop to be able to do that and what brand. Going cheap is NOT an option for me so Ill pay good $$$ for the coilovers that will help me achieve that same look on my SC430. Thanks!!
