Choice of suspension
 
I'm cross shopping a few coilovers still, while doing all the research I can on all of them. But input and advice are always welcome.

Price range is roughly 1k<1.5k
Looking for a 1.5" drop. Don't mind sacrificing comfortness. In fact I wouldn't mind a little stiffness.
Car is strictly for daily driving with some spirited parking lot driving :)

Current setups I'm looking at are:

Ground Control
BC Racing w/ Swift Springs upgrade
Fortune Auto 500 w/ Swift Springs upgrade
Buddy Club Racing Spec
Tein Street Flex

What would you go with and why?

EDIT: Isn't Ground Control just a Koni Yellow shock with Eibach Sportlines?

Don't go with the Swift Spring upgrade if it means you can put a better damper in the mix. The majority won't notice the difference between the standard and Swift upgrade and you won't be getting the maximum out of them while you still have more unsprung mass to lose.

@Enraged21: check your PM. :)

Stance because they are the best bang for that price range of coliovers. The flex is a the best choice within that list in my honestly opinion, however I would go with Mono flex over the traditional twin tube flex. Hit up @Touge Factory for a better understanding of their Stance suspension in comparison.

a couple things. spring rate and comfort dont have anything to do with eachother within reason. comfort comes from the quality of the damper. i doubt that anybody is going to have any first hand experience with a comparison other than maybe some of the more honest vendors. that being said, there has been a fortune employee who is on the forums and his honesty and knowledge are actually pretty admirable. i think once you can focus in on your goal people can provide a better answer.

I thought they are not released yet

Edit: just saw them on arkperformance.com

I'm going with those since I'll be getting my exhaust/test pipe from them as well
