Hard to go wrong with good coilovers, but I have an 08 so the suspension wasn't too forgiving. I got the KW x Greddy coilovers and I love them, not too much softer than stock but they are just valved/dampened far better

I'll list the more popular ones to least and from cheapest to more expensive
1) BC Racing with Swift Springs upgrade
2) HKS Hypermax IV GT
3) KWv3
4) Ohlins
5) RR Racing Penskes
I'm not sure if you're daily driving or have track duties in mind, but I wasn't too fond of the BC Racing. It felt a bit too bouncy to me and my roads are terrible so that would of attribute to the cause. I was on the Penskes and have nothing but good things to say about them. Not just for track duty, but for daily driving as well. Every small adjustment you make on them make a value of a difference compared to Japanese type shocks. Personal opinion and objective to anyone.

There are also RR racing coilovers they are comparable to ohlins as well as KW coilovers price and prefomance wise.

I'm not sure where everyone is getting their prices but the Ohlins are way more expensive than the RR racing RTs. They're definitely not comparable.

[QUOTE=blackisF08;10106336]Yeah, i didn't do enough tracked them as I like, but they are still pretty comfortable for just daily driving. I'm selling my Penskes, if it's something you're interested in.. feel free to DM me.
