Default good coil overs? suggestions?

supposedly picking up my ITR tomorrow. what have you guys found to be a good combination of coil overs/springs?

it will be a street car but will be on the open track periodically. not too worried about the 1/4 mile. any help?

I'd reccomend taking it to the track first, cause they're already excellent handling cars stock. Take it a couple times, then you'll see if you want to improve and you'll be able to make a more concrete decision on what it is you'd be looking for.

this is true. but from experience with my last DC2 and any other car i've owned, i know it will handle better with coil overs. that and it sure would look a lot better ( as i said, a daily driver first and foremost).

It depends on how much you want to spend on them, there are loads of brands/makes/variants available but all at greatly different prices...if money os no object then i recommend Spoon N1s!

Doesn't sound like you even need coilovers; lowering springs maybe.
