The Ohlin DFV's are the defacto quality handling and ride coilovers. The FAs can do well as well but certiainly avoid KWs or any of the "JDM YO" garbage if ride quality is what you're after.

Ohlin DFV's are the cream of the crop and due to how cheap they are now, you shouldn't be looking at anything else. That being said, i'm running KW V3's because they were $1000.00 cheaper at the time ($2500.00) and they ride/handle great. They are certainly better than the MR Bilsteins, but not better than the Ohlins.

Ohlin's R/T's for sure. Contact Performance Shock Inc for best pricing. They also offer revalving for custom spring rates at a very reasonably price on initial purchase.

The R/Ts are going to be ones you want and they are down in price from what they used to be.

the Fortune Auto 500s are a solid coilover, they have some nifty upgrades on them like radial bearings and an allen key locking perch (no need for a hammer and screwdriver to lock them in). I have heard that the Ohlins are very good as well. Still thinking about them a little

Can get Feal's as well for the same price, made in Socal and custom valving/spring rate if you so choose. Have tracked mine and get daily driven and have been great

Ohlins R&T are definitely good bang for the buck. But if you can afford it, MCS all the way. http://motioncontrolsuspension.com/
