Default Need help choosing Coilovers

Hey guys, wuts goin on?
Well let me start off with what I plan on doin with the car. I plan on driving it ocasionally during the spring/summer. Maybe a few days a week... and hitting the track on some auto x days. I dont really care about ride quality... thats the last of my worries.. I just want a setup that will be good/decent for street and good for the track, even though it will have more street use.
I was thinking Function and Form Type2 or Skunk2 ProC... but if you guys know of better then please. Your input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanx

I would go with either GC/Koni or Buddy Club. If your gonna spend 1100 on Skunk2 ProC get the most proven set-up out there which is GC/koni. It is actually a bit cheaper too, you can get that for 800 or 1050 with tophats.

is the koni/GC setup more of a street setup? thats what ive kinda been getting from all the other threads(I could be wrong).
Another question is: If I was to get a setup that was more for race and was to use it quite often on the street, do i run the risk of f**king them up?
Thanx..
also, still up in the air about wut setup so your recomendations are still appreciated.

How much seat time have you already had? If you are very experienced and need to run stiffer rates than 550lbs you will need a different set up than Koni/GC. As for my personal experience I would stay away from the Buddy club if your car on the street.
