I used BC racing spec on my ITR and they are good. Street driven they are good too. They are better than Tein Flex's and are cheaper as well.
I went from Tein flex, to BC racing spec, and now I'm on Tein RA's.
Overall for a street some track day coilover BC's are the way to go. If you do more track than I suggest a higher end coilover.
But in my opinion, I would just save the money and go higher end.

Don't do what I did and spend all kinds of money on different $1300 and under suspension/coilovers then end up losing money from upgrading. When I bought the Tein RA's I was set. Amazing street handling, and seriously superb track day handling! Very stiff for the street tho. I am running the Mugen 26mm rear bar w/ the Tein RA's. Perfect!

I'm using the RS coilovers on my ITR. Great for the track, but a little too stiff for me on the street. I'm planning on putting my stock suspension back on in a few weeks.

PIC would be better since Jim and Al are on the H-T site and can help you out. BC has a place in CA but you wouldn't have customer service like PIC.

I have both at 12k/14k

Love both, but since i know Jim and Al and they support Expo/We-Todd.

PIC

Any suspension that's at all worthwhile on track is going to suck driving on the streets in and around Chicago. These roads are TERRIBLE. The RSDs are fairly stiff (I had them a few years ago), and even on much smoother roads than what we have here they weren't so hot.

As well-intentioned as it is, I would avoid B18EK's advice. "Going higher end" is just going to result in blown shocks, the way this area is. Going with almost anything other than stock is going to give you problems, honestly.
