Default which coilovers ordering tonite

im torn between PBM, BC racing, and ksport. What do you guys recomend, out of those, and who has what, i would go with stances but i aint forking out 1255 for coilovers, 1000 or less is my budget, looking for a decent ride, i have a daughter thats gonna be in the car dont want nothing ridiculously stiff and nothing to soft, i want to be able to hit a corner and not roll but at the same time take bumps at a decent speed, i know im asking a lot but im just looking for opinions, best bang for the buck out of those

i had BCs and loved them. then again, i went from blown 250k stockies to a full coilover. They were easy to install and had either 30-32 way adjustability. I had them pretty low and they still rode nice. not bouncy at all..

pbm are stiff from what i've heard.

BC most likely since you can adjust your spring rates

Should build some gixxer dress. Bilstein shocks on hperco springs. You choose your spring rates so can be as soft or stiff asyou like. Runs right about 1k for everything. Putting mine on right now.

I went with BC since they let you order custom spring rates and include the rear adjustment extensions

I've also heard good things about BC Racing coilovers. I would go with those.

I'm actually looking at getting a set myself. Are they the same thing as BCR coilovers?

I myself have Circuit Sports coilovers...Get this, They're made by the same company that makes 'em for Tein...They're just about equivalent to Tein Super Street coilovers, I got 'em for $800.
