Best coilovers for a daily driver?

I just want a decent drop like 2-3 inches if that to fill the wheel well in a little, Around 800 ish? I drive like 5-6k miles a year, it is my daily car, in the winter I can just raise it back up? So if coilovers aren't meant for daily then I can never lower it a few inches? So it's stock height for life? I just want my car to look better without all that damn wheel well showing on my 19"staggered rims or my 17" stock 5 stars, should I just go bilsteins and call it a day?

coilovers are good if you are indecisive about ride height. Too high, lower it a but and your good. Too low, raise it and your good. As said above find a spring rate close to stock. You can always swap your springs for ones with softer rates too. I ordered a set from Ground Control that was a different spring rate.
As for setting it, you have to get it in the car and then adjust it from there and use a ruler to work around. for optimal ride height.

well, i have the stance's on, and well it feels the same as my Megan's, I think I may sell both coils and put that towards PBM's or a custom set of BC's or Stance, or Fortune Auto's. What stance does have over megan is that you can go much lower up front with it. Maxed out the stances and couldnt put my wheel on even uncompressed. I have ridden in my friends GS with PBM's and it rides much better.
ok heres my addition:
Stance Coilovers 14/10K too soft, still bounce. Go low
Megan Coilovers 10/8 still soft, and still bounce too I felt no difference with stance and megan. Don't go low without messing with preload.
PBM, 18/16k Doesn't bounce, rides comfy, rides stiffer, I feel this is what rates our cars should come with. Go low without messing with preload. Well worth the price.

No clue bro... it could just be the valving. I'm running 16/12 on my Fortunes and they're not bouncy at all... have you messed around with the dampening at all, or just used what they had set out of the box?

Pretty surprised you didnt spot the difference in the Megans and Stance coilovers. I had Megans before Stance but mine had a lot of miles on them so I never really felt how brand new Stance rides. Megans are pretty good coilovers for a daily...depending how low you wanna go of course.
