Best for what?

$850's a bad number... there's nothing in that range. Everything is a couple hundred more, or a couple hundred less.

Personally, I would either get omnipower or Koni Yellow/Ground Control. Probably the second.

koni yellows with gc sleeves is the best bang for the buck.

Tein basics is just for the brand. . . . no adjustability in the dampener.

Koni w/GC . . . . .

Omnipower street unless you do ALOT of track racing or autocross and do mind an extreme STIFF ride then get the sport model but if theres a pebble on the road your feel it. 650 for Omnipower and AL tophats is my next setup over the ITR shocks and GC setup I have now.

Koni Yellows, Ground Control coil-overs, and ITR bushings in your tophats.

Have fun.

Re: best coilovers for $850 dollars (mUrked179)

your going to need to spend at least a thousand to get your car to handle like the omnis out of the box. I got the omnis because i auto-x my car but its a daily driver. Yes its stiff, i got the street, but its an amazing setup. I would get the Omni's, check out http://www.Kteller.com He hooked me up, and he has a killer deal going on right now also. Use the rest of the money for a camber kit, sway bars, or twards a set of azenis if your looking to make your car handle. You will not be dissapointed with the Omnis.

For example, I dont even have a rear sway in my car, but my friend asked me if I had a JDM ITR sway on my car, because the car is very netural, exhibits NO body roll, and dosent plow much at all.

OMNI-POWER

Like the rest of the members are saying, i HIGHLY suggest KONI/GC combo.
Or OMNI full coil-over for a more econmical set-up.

This is exactly why I bought mine. I've meet and talked with the Koni reps at SEMA, and they are great guys. One of them (CRXlee) posts on here all the time, and he is very helpful. They will even test any shock other brand dampner on thier shock dyno if you ship it to them. It really shows just how good their product is when you have a real direct comparison.
