ST. It's the cheapest out of those three. Only height adjustable, not dampening adjustable like the other two. Not sure if you're looking for DD only but ST is a great choice. Definitely what I'm going with.

ST is really a great coilover for the money

Well the ST coilovers are basically KW (very good quality coils) coilovers without the stainless steel body. I've heard good things about the coating ST uses and there are several good reviews on this forum. The ST coilovers may only have height adjustments, but I imagine they would perform the best. I would also check out RCE Tarmac coilovers as well if your budget is a bit higher.

I have review on the St Coils on here. I am very satisfied with the coils thus far, if you plan on using them for using for DD then you can't beat the price of under 900. If you plan on adding camber plates then save your money and go with a full dampening coil system like Fortune 500, Tein Flex or Stance and of course KW3s.

I'm really liking my ST coilovers a lot. Especially the spring rates, which are close to stock, so the ride doesn't suffer.

I researched, and I cannot figure out how the different companies are coming up with their spring rate decisions. I see rates from 4K to 10K, stiffer in front, some stiffer in the rear, at least the ST coilovers mimic the stock rates and retain the stock characteristics, with slightly softer rates in front if I'm not mistaken.

The STs were meant for a entry/DD application that's why keep the SR close to stock feel. Other companies which have higher spring rates make those coils intended for use of race and track, if i decide to go full race or road race often i will end switching to KW3s.

For daily driving being the focus, ST for sure.
