Evo 8 best Coilovers to use for DD

I’m looking to purchase Coilovers for my evo but I’m debating which are the best ones to use In nyc especially with these pot holes all around . I daily drive my evo and I don’t track it at all. I purchased this car with d2 coils already installed and I can say it’s time for a new setup and I don’t think d2 coils suits for roads like nyc . I would like to know ya opinions about this .

best bang for the buck and for DD I would say Fortune Auto 500s. You can ask for custom spring rates based on how you will be using your car. Their shop is in Richmond VA so future rebuilds is also convenient from a longevity standpoint. Lots of folks run them here and everything I heard about them has been positive. I am about to purchase a set myself my Evo.

I drive back and forth to NYC everyday in my DD EVO X MR ON KW V3 with a little over 100000 miles on them and all the whiteline parts made for X except the front sway bar.
The coilovers drastically improved the driving behavior from stock, then the whiteline parts drastically improved the suspension even more.
Before i thought the oem MR suspension was really good, boy was i wrong!
