What application would you like your car to be best at?
What will it be doing most of the time? (this can be much more important than the one above!)
What's your budget?

As an example:
I'd like it to be responsive on the track.
I want to be able to comfortably drive to any track in North America.
I drive it everyday.
My budget is $1500.
Bilstein B14s!

My experience with St on the streets for daily driving has been excellent. A little under damped at very low mph but then again this is something that many won't notice. It's very compliant and uses oem top mount which keeps NVH stock. I just upgraded the top mounts to raceseng and couldn't be happier. The ST have a slotted lower mount hole to allow for a little camber adjustment with oem bolts.

st if you plan on hitting a track or acting like a track guy. BC if you want the camber plates for the top and want to go low. Megans are great on numerous cars but for the money on our platform, it doesnt make sense

Those are $1700 on their website. Are they less expensive elsewhere?

ST XTA.

Awesome on the street. A bit underdamped at low speeds between like 20 and 35 mph.

Awesome on the track if your car is corner balanced and set up well.

I love mine.

You can get KW V3's for $1800. Silly to pay that much for T0's. I'd go with ST if that's your budget.

KW makes great suspension.

The raceseng top hats look awesome! Have you ever had any experience with the STI top hats, or the KYB ones? :threadjacked:

ST for daily drivers.

Megan and BC are just to get the car super low, but thats about it. imo, junk otherwise. most likely made by the same manufacturer in taiwan too.

Not that I'm aware of, but an extra $200 for better damping seems like a bargain to me.
