General info:
-Car will spend very very little time on track, I'm looking mainly to retain close to OEM ride quality but pickup a little bit of cornering performance for canyon type runs.
-225/45R17 Potenza RE760 on 17x8 +35 wheels
-Close to stock power output, will be UEL stage two soon
-FT86SF Strut tower bar will be going on soon

What I'm looking for:
- between 10-20mm drop (just enough to take out a little bit of wheel gap)
-I would like to get a coilover that will allow me to retain the stock ride height comfortably if needed. (not sure if this is even an issue?)
-I feel like the stock suspension "feels" pretty good, but I'd be okay if the ride was a hair more firm.
-Wouldn't mind losing a little bit of body roll.
-I do not want to exceed $1,500 for the set.
-I would like to get coils that come with camber plates, but not a deal breaker.

What I'm thinking:
-KW V1
-ST or ST TA
-Tein Street Flex
-RCE Tarmac 0
-Fortune Auto? (I'm not very familiar)


If you guys can't sleep, or there are no other threads to reply to, maybe you guys can give your .02. Thanks!
I'm not sure that you need coilovers. Good springs (RCE Yellow have a 20mm drop) with good shocks (Bilstein B6 or Koni Yellow) would be a good fit for you. Quiet, long lasting, rebuildable, good ride and good handling. Easy. Add camber plates if you need the camber. If you're not spending a lot of time on the track and don't want to go lower than 20mm, plus you're on street tires...just a good set of springs will work well for you.
