Default help making decision on coilovers

ive been doing some research and looking and am going to purchase some coilovers in the near future.

from what ive read, PIC seems to be the most used so far and everyone has been very happy with their performance etc.

my application is my ITR not a track car. i drive this car on the weekends and during the week a few times maybe. lets just say its a DD then.

i want a nice ride kind of like stock, a little stiffer is ok but not too stiff but definitely do not want anything like my tein basics that i have on my accord.

i was looking into getting the PIC coilovers. would this be a good application for my car?

if anyone has any other input on what i should get seeing that PIC are expensive but that this is my DD (in a way) and i have no problem spending money for quality and comfort.

as of now PIC is my choice. any other suggestions, comments, etc would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

(sorry for the long explantion)

Look into the Apex line, they are more street friendly.

Get new OEM shocks. They're really good and well matched to the car. Nice thing about ITRs is they come well tuned from the factory. What tire do you run? I think your money would be better spent on good tires. You can't go wrong with the OEMs, I'm in an Evo 9 now that came with similar summer use only HP tires and the only improvement in tire technology in 8 years is the A0-48s have slightly better wet performance than the RE010s. That says a lot about the Bridgestones that came on your car.
