Coilovers

I know that there are many options for coilovers out there, but i'm not looking for any crazy set of coilovers for tracking and drifting needs. I need recommendations on a set of coilovers at a lower price and just good for daily driving.

If you're just using it as a daily driver, why do you want coils?

To go lower then springs can I'm assuming.

Save yourself +$800 and pick up some TRD springs. You won't be disappointed.

Springs won't satisfy my needs on how low i was looking to go. Even though i am driving the car daily, i'm trying to go lower than what springs have to offer.

Stance goes low. BC does too but I've heard done questionable stuff about BCs quality.

H&R Super Sport springs and a couple other brands offer lower than 1", the H&R Super Sport springs go AT LEAST 1.2" and 1.4" drop front/rear. That drop leaves very little gap. Vivid has several lowering springs but many more coil-overs if you really want to go that route and get a really dropped look. Just make sure you get camber bolts and such because dropping any more than 1.2" makes the wheels tilt in.
