Default Best coilover for the money for rsx???

What is the best one to get for the money.....car is daily driven, going for the lowered look with a decent ride left, ground control? dropzone?, or are the more expensive ones better to get since they come with a strut?

any suggestions, or pics would be great.

well i was thinking sleeved coilovers first but will also need struts too, so that added up to like around $800, so for the extra whatever for the other ones i might as well get them, but no real budget, just the best for the money for a daily driven car that does not go to races and like a decent low ride.

get my friends Toda Fightex jk..they may be too stiff, if your looking for a more subtle coilover the Flex is good, so is the JIC FLT-A2s..but if you want something thats hardcore with a pretty large budget..then look into the smaller companies such as Zeals, Buddyclub, Toda,Bilstein, etc...

Is there any more comments on the Toda Fightex ? I used to have a 99GS Integra with Koni Yellow and H & R race springs. I now have a Type S 2003 and am looking into getting a good coilover kit. Any comments on Toda racing and what price am I looking at ?

the Todas are a great coilover..the rears however may be too stiff for some...the price you are looking at is a little bit over 2000$, certaintly not as high as the 3100$ pricetag on toda's website
