What Coilovers to get?

I have 1600 dollars and want something i can use both for daily driving and that will be good for AutoX on occasion. There are also a few key features id like them to have.

1. Pillow ball mounts
2. Front upper camber plates
3. Adjustable dampning

Any input will be appreciated,

Thanks

Make sure you know why you want what you are asking for. Or else, you may end up with something you don't want/need/use, and out of a lot of money.

From: somewhere testing various tires, brakes, and suspensions.
I really like my Megan Racing Track Coil-overs. 12k/10k, 32 way adj., pillow ball mounts, and front camber plates. Price was $859 shipped from ProMotionTuning.

Link to streets:
http://www.meganracing.com/products/...d=350&catid=93

But they do have a track version, just not up yet one their site.

My car is daily driven, a few 650+ mile trips, and tracked. First track day with this will be Sept. 30th at Gratton.

1600 bucks...well almost every basic jdm coil to megan, bc, stance and all the other sub 1600 coils have your desired features.

i would just read reviews and decide for yourself based on your needs.
