2015 honda civic full coilover suggestions needed
I'm looking to get a set of full coilovers (with shocks) for everyday driving. What brand should I go with? I'd like the option to go real low but willing to raise a bit if the ride is too rough.
Godspeed is about your only option. Welcome to owning a Civic that no one makes things for.
-at least compared to the days when you could find 10 different options for everything.

There are quite a few options, just not as many as the 2012-2013's because of the suspension change.
BC Racing (BR Type), Buddy Club (N+ and Race), and D2 (RS) currently all make 2014+ specific coilovers. Megan Racing does too, but a lot of people have had issues with them. As mentioned by junkyard, Godspeed does as well, though from the feedback I've seen on them I don't know that I would recommend them either. Let's just say you get what you pay for.
As far as your ride height desires... I'm not in to going super low, but the BC's with stiffer Swift Springs would probably offer the best performance and driveability for the money. Look at the specs and decide what fits your needs best. They all have their pros and cons.

Godspeed Mono Max hands down... I have them for my 8th gen and they are fantastic!
If you not you can contact Chris at Redshift Motorsports and he can put something together for you. He is pretty much the suspension guru for the 8th and 9th gens.

If you want to go real low and ride decent, buy a full body adjustable coilover (one that you can lower without affecting shock stroke). Buy something decent at least. Buddy Club N+'s aren't great...but they're decent.
Doesn't look like there's many choices for 2014+'s. I see 2012-2013's listed on Tein's site. They're not the same? If they are the same, the Street Flex is actually a really nice setup for the price.

. Sadly the hellaflush crowd has ruined our ability to get stuff from KW and other good brands lol. COME EVERYONE TO THE HPDE THREAD!!! More track days might mean better parts options in the future lol. As of right now though there is no reason for them to make one sadly.
The front knuckle changed for the 2014-2015 (among other changes). The strut mounting bolt hole locations shifted which does not allow 2012-2013 coilovers or struts to fit. That means no Koni Sports available yet either, though for the money and effort required to gut the front strut I don't consider them worth it unless you really want to keep springs.
Tein still hasn't released revised coilovers for the 2014-2015 Si's, which is why I didn't list them. It's a shame, because I really like what they did with the Street Advance. They were also on a great sale during tax season.
Also I like the redshift-spec GC's (I bought some and sold them), but the rear mounting solution is junk if you don't want to go low. Having the adjustment sleeve mounted to the lower control arm puts it at an angle and makes it hard to get the springs to sit right without tearing up the coating.
