My RSR Sports-i is working nicely for daily... but I heard good things about Bilstein. I've never drive or ride in one, so I can't really give you feedback on that one. Out of all the ones I've driven/rode that really liked was Cusco Street Zero & Ohlins Road and Track. Specially Ohlins R&T felt amazing!!! Yeah... it's worth all those shiny pennies. Street Zero was nice because you can setup the softness/stiffness from inside the car and drove flawlessly in both street and track.

As for brake pads, I gonna be a bit bias and recommend Winmax. Yeah, Winmax isn't known brand in US (due to recently start distributed in US), but a lot of prodrivers can prove their quality. If you just gonna do daily driving, go Winmax W2. If you go more than that (like W3 & up), lil noise and brake dusts to worry bout... with that said, this summer, I'll be going front w3 / rear w2 setup though lol

Yeah, the B6 is the OEM replacement size damper. I already have RCE yellows on, but I'd like a little bit better damping. I'm not on the coils bandwagon, unless if I can find a screaming deal on some RCE Tarmac 2s or some Ohlins.

I'm thinking about the Winmax W2s or the Project Mu NS400. We'll see.

Oh you already have RCE yellows then mind as well get that going with it. It's not like you need coils. Til you need coils, save pretty pennies and buy Ohlins, cuz it's worth it! If I could stay in struts/springs, I would of... but I got an offer, I couldn't say no, so went with coils.

Love Project Mu. They make good pads for sure... but I can't fully recommend NS400. If you're looking into Project Mu, look into B-Force. It's almost double of NS400's price, but it's night and day difference. I wouldn't say get 999, cuz that's just noisy and dusty like crazy (cuz track purpose), but B-Force can do autox or aggressive driving and it'll keep you feel in control.

Love Project Mu. I run the HC+800. great cold bite and good initial bite that I prefer. But they are noisy as shit, dust like no tomorrow and eat rotors like nobody's business. #bcuzdailydrivr

The Winmax are cool but more modular. I only tried the W3. Still want to try the W4 or W5

Yeah, at first I was going to say 800... but that's way too much for daily. B-Force is between 400 & 800. It doesn't make noise or dusty like 800, but can get good bite when you need, so that's why I recommended B-Force
