After countless hours of searching and reading I decided to post. I am looking for a coilover setup for my car.

I would like something that will improve handling vs simply for looks. Though I do plan on eliminating a tad of wheel gap once I install my 18"rims. I would like something that I can tweak and have it handle like factory and better. (Slammed stance throws off suspension geometry. )

My primary interest for this car is a normal daily driver which hopes to see some track time/autocross next year. (Weather permitting... damn you New England).

I am not sure on how to dial in suspension rebounds and such, but am willing to learn and really would like to make this a hobby(autocross etc). I know there is no replacement for seat time and experience, but the coilovers will help clear the rim and tire combo I may be installing.

General consensus seems to be KW v3, ST coilovers , Tarmac 2 and or tarmac 0. Any input and guidance is greatly appreciated. My main concern is making handling worse rather than better.
