It all depends on how much your looking to spend.

Megan EZs are the best bang for your buck. BC Racing coils are also very popular here on the forums. KW coils are some of the most expensive coils but are one of the best

As Bob4256 says its all about budget.

Check out the classifieds, you can typically get really good deals on there.

Do you track your car?
How low are you trying to go?
What kind of offsets do you plan to run, mild or VERY aggresive?
and lastly, whats your budget like

BC Racing is probably the best balance of quality and price

I agree, best "bang for the buck" so to speak.

To the OP, it all depends on how much $$% you are willing to spend and whether you are going to track your car or simply use it as a DD.

Sorry if I am hijacking, but many of you mention if you track your car, so is BC racing coilovers good for tracking? What about just occasional tracking?

I would say it'll be good enough for the weekend racer. BUT, for the more hardcore racer you'd definitely be looking into KWs, Penseke, etc.

Go with the BC coils. Tons of members on here love them. Or if you want to spend a little less, go with the Megan EZ or LP. A lot of CL guys have these coilovers and as far as I can tell, no complaints with them.
