Eibach R1 vs KW V3 vs Tein Mono Flex vs Cusco Street Zero

I'm having a hard time deciding on which coilovers to get and was hopeing you guys can help me out.
My car is a daily driver and I will not be tracking it, I want them to go really low and completely get rid of any wheel gap maybe even tuck a little tire.
I want some quality coilovers and I narrowed it down to eibach R1's, KW V3, tein mono flex or maybe cusco street zeros.
I'm open to other suggestions but I would like to stay under 2,500.
Any help is appreciated thanks!

if it's just a street car, then forget about the tein monoflex and the R1's

The KW's ride great and got my car plenty low. If you want to go stupid low, just get BC's or similar junk as the car won't function well anyway.

I'm in a similar situation but track the car pretty regularly, any suggestions? I was originally thinking KW's but some people seem to think they are overpriced for their actual quality.

Tarmac 0's, no question. I'm a DD on mine and they are a perfect fit to what I need (and a badass color scheme).

For the best street ride the latest R1 revision rides a little better than the KW V3s imo. Though, the latest R1 rides much better than they did when they were first released. I can't comment on their track performance but you don't seem to be concerned with that.

However, the RS*R Sports i rides better for the street than either of these two. I would not consider the Tein Monoflex in this same category as either of these three.
