Very nice points made about coilovers although corner balancing is not really required in most cases for a daily driver. I think brzranger felt that way also. If you do get coilovers but want to keep alignments simple you can get KW, Tein Street Basis, GC Street, Cusco Street Spec, etc that use the factory upper strut mounts.
Absolutely agree with you. Everyone has a different idea about what the best kits and parts are. I don't even want to get into that. I just wanted to point out that, when you start adding adjustable suspensions the easy part is installing them. The hard part is actually getting the alignment, balancing and tuning setup correctly.

Daily drivers don't need 40 way adjustable shocks, rebound and bound adjustment. It's one of those selling features companies sell like snake oil to people who have no idea what that even means. Most of these same companies can't even provide spring and damper rates on their products either.
