Default Ordering suspension- need advise

Well my hatch is almost complete except for the suspension and a few other things. I've got it narrowed down to 2 different systems. The Tein Basics or the cheap but proven- dropzone coils. last time I checked the teins were around $750. Then again I could go with the slammed on the ground look with a buddy of mine's Dropzone coilovers he's trying to get rid of, they seem to handle pretty good but they ride like ****. Guess you have to sacrifice handling for ride comfort. He's taken some serious turns at triple digit speed. whuddaya think?

If you are looking for something just to lower the car with and are not so concerend with performance, then any cheapo sleeve type coilover setup will do. For performance, the Tein basics are good for a street only car. If you plan to track your car, you might want to look into a full coilover setup such as the moderately priced OmniPower coilover setup or the Koni yellow and Ground Control setup. Keep in mind that quality should be a big concern as you don't want to spend your money more than once on the same modification, unless you are upgrading to something better.
