Default What are best coilovers for a daily driven 97 civic?!

I currently have eibach sportlines and kyb shocks and I am very unhappy with the ride quality. I am looking to buy a new set of coilovers from $750-$1200. Looks like the tein super streets right now, I was also looking at cusco but didn't know if they were more for race or street. All suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hm.. The APEXi N1s are $2000.. but to stay in your price range.. go for the APEXi WorldSports.

personally, I would recommend the Tein SS, but everyone is going to be partial to their own setup.. I love mine, not too harsh for me, but it might be for some.. Its kind of hard to know what to expect unless you ride it yourself, I took a shot in the dark with the teins, but am totally happy with them..

I forgot to type that the road to get out of my house is incredibly bumpy, also ccivic would you still recommend apexi n1's with that in mind, i haven't heard much nor known anyone with them? I just want a non-abusive ride and great performance. Something that the chicks will dig too. Once again thanks for all your help, I'm really not trying to be unsatisfied on this buy so thanks alot.

Going with omnipower full coilover street setup. A little easier on the wallet and I know "you get what you pay for" but I've looked into it and seems that this is an exception to the rule, I haven't heard a thing bad about them and hey if they suck I'll sell em on ebay. But seriously http://www.kteller.com lower control arms and full coil setup for 700$ can't pass it up. Thanks yall
