Default Which coilover setup should i go with?

I need help deciding on which coilover system i should go with. My budget is under $800 so i have narrowed it down between 3 setups: 1) Tein Basic 2) Tanabe Sustec Pro S-OC Type II 3) OMNI Power full coilover.

Which one would you guys recommend? I am leaning towards TEIN just because of their high reputation.

That wouldnt be adjustable...would it? I need adjustable cuz my car would turn into a snow plow in winter so i need to raise it back up to stock height.

I have never looked into koni yellow w/ gc coilover, ill do it now.

So the GC/Koni setup is ALOT better than the TEIN basic? Is their anything else i need to get for the GC/Koni setup besides the koni yellow shocks and the coilovers?

So all i need are these?:

is depend what you want. ask ppl who have the d2 setup, how does it ride etc. i noe some suspension is not made for daily but for track.. as for gc and koni. perfect for daily and you cant beat the price like if you buy brand new around 650 or so. good price

One of the sponsors on here wants 775$ for the koni/gc. Is that even a good deal?

What are your plans with the car? DD / Street / Track? GC/Koni combo is a good setup. I would suggest looking into that.
