coilover choice

Anyone have any input on coilover choice for around 1500$ my car is a daily driver so nothing that is insane. I was looking at the bc swift spring set up that circuit motorsports has. Either that or the basic tein or Cusco. They are all about the same pricepoint.

You have to be kidding,right? This has already been done to death.
Do you know about the search button?
http://www.ft86club.com/forums/search.php

While certainly not every thread listed when searching "$1500" in the Suspension | Chassis | Brakes section is going to be spot on there are over 3 pages returned on the search.
Here, let me give you a start:

2 sets of Megan's. Run both at the same time. One track set, one street set. Then you have track performance and street comfort. Search dual shock setup FRS. Super nice.

For the track ... all I will say is ... softer springs in front than the rear ... KW V3s got it completely right on this car ....

For the street or stance ... anything that makes your car look like you want it to ...

If your budget is $1500, the words BC racing should not be coming out of your mouth

Wow. Sorry guys. This will be the lase question I ask on this forum. If responding is such an inconvenience, then just ignore the post. You probably spent more time getting passed off that I searched coilovers and got a huge list. I'm also in the hospital now and their WiFi is horrible and takes about 5 minutes to pull up a post. Anyway, ill worry about it once I'm out. Thank you for those of you who took the time to answer and not be a jerk. Deuces.

Oh we're just joking man. Come on! I think it's just thev fact that this or something like it gets asked a lot. Like everyday.

But just open that suspension sub forum and there are tons and tons of threads on different options.

For that price I personally am a big fan of the feal 441 coilovers.
