I think that most of the brand names are pretty good. I have H&R springs in my SI and have no complaints at all. My brother has tokico struts/springs and I really like his setup as well and yet another friend has Koni adjustables and loves them too. Can't go wrong with any of them.

sorry i'll rephrase... out of the coilovers listed imho the RA's will perform the best and have the highest handling limits, however they will be rough and if you are seriously concerned about comfort then they are not a good choice.

It's just gonna be a daily driver. Maybe take it to the track a few times. Not gonna be full race car or anything.
