DD 60%, Drift 20%, Auto-X 20%
 

For mainly DD, occasional drift/Auto-X, which suspension set-up do you recommend?

Currently FI'd, 297whp, lowered on Eibach Sportlines on OEM shocks.
I broke some of the suspension commandments, and currently on a staggered setup of 18x8.5F/18x9R with 225/40 and 245/35 Hankook V12's.

My goals are:
Improve ride/performance over spring/OEM strut combo (I think they are terrible imo).
Able to lower the ride height beyond 1.5in (2in would be perfect).
Capable DD (not ridiculously stiff) and occasional drifting/auto-x.

Choices I am looking at are:
FA500 V5 with Swift springs
Tarmac 0
KW ST
Bilstein B14
KW V1/V3
Bilstein B8 (which ever one compatible with lowering springs)/good spring combo.
Tein?

I'm wanting to stay away from K2, BC, Stance etc.

I rode in a FA500 coil from a local guy and was surprised how compliant they were on a shitty road compared to my Eibach spring/OEM strut set up.

I've read so many reviews with various setups, and this is one of the hardest things to decide on..

I'm hoping to spend a little less than 2K, and with some of the set-ups, I can get a LCA/Camber Plate/Bushings with the lower price of the initial coil over.

Any help would be great!!

Thanks for your time.

How competitive do you want to be?

Not planning on winning trophies. Having fun is my priority as well as reliability. I know I will need DSS rear axles or a raised diff to save my rear axles when lowering as well.

This may interest you.
@FT-86 SpeedFactory just posted two sets of KW V3s for sale.

sounds like they were refurbished or somethin. I'm not a huge fan of second hand coil overs, especially how precise they are made. Just IMO, but a great deal!
