Hey people looking to go low soon on my 06 IX, just looking for some suggestions on coils I should get based on others experiences with theirs. Don't need ridiculously expensive coils, but I would like decent ones for a decent price!!

Anything else in that price range is a waste of money. If you want actual ride quality, buy KW's or Ohlins

+1 to the Fortunes.
FEAL's 441 coilover kit is another one to look at around the same price point. Similar philosophy to Fortune- Hard parts outsourced from overseas, dampers built in house (in USA) to their own spec. FEAL has a breadth of knowledge when it comes to suspension, and got their start tuning and rebuilding motorsports grade shocks before they started making their own stuff. These actually offer pretty good ride quality as well for the price.
Soon to be released is TEIN's Flex A and Flex Z. The latter is non-serviceable, and while still made in house in their facility in Yokohama, has allowed them to come into a lower price point. I suspect we will see them retailing in the $800 range. They offer adjustable damping, full length adjustability so you can go pretty low w/o reducing shock stroke, include upper mounts etc, so they parallel many of the current popular choices that are currently in a similar or slightly higher price range. When/if a replacement is needed, you just drop in a new cartridge, like you would with BC and others.
