Is this car being set up for road course, auto-x, or just street use? What tires will you be running on?

In my "opinion"

Out of box options:
1. JIC "track setup" best bang for the buck sub $1,500 for cheap speed.
2. Ohlins are good but why spend the money when you can spend a little more on Moton clubsports.
3. Moton clubsports/JRZ are the highest quality "out of box" shock.

Custom:
My custom 3 way Penske's... be prepared to spend, No out of box valving can touch custom valved shocks with Penske pistons.

You're in CT? my guy makes these Penske's very close to you I can hook you up with them if you want.

I have the Tein Mono Flex Coilovers w/ perrin rear sway bar, stout mounts and rear end links. i could not be happier and they are all adjustable for any type of driving you want to do and mine is daily driven. I found a great deal on all these parts as well before I purchased them, pm me for the location etc...

There is a very large difference in price between the Ohlins and Motons. Once you add in the cost of springs and camber plates/rear mounts, the Motons are about twice as much as the Sportlines, and still significantly more than the Flags as well. In my opinion, the best bang for the buck coilover is the KW Variant 3. 2-way adjustability, proven reliability and performance, and the option of doing custom spring rates as well. We are a Moton dealer and we have sold several sets of Clubsports to Evo owners, but for a street driven car they are undoubtedly overkill. Honestly I think the OP would be very happy with the Variant 3's and custom spring rates.

1. Stance
2. MR street/track

Again, for street use, a full coilover may be an overkill -- it is still better than struts/spring setup since eventually you want coilovers...
