What is your budget? Are you looking into a custom setup or full coilover?

God I love generic questions. If you want the best, expect to spend 3 grand plus.

If the OP wants the best for daily driving, he doesn't need to spend any money at all.

i put about 2000 miles on a Acura Rl Aspec the past few weeks, and i was really impressed with the "aspec" suspension.

defently stiffer then stock, but still comfertable. The car felt very good and confidence inspiring. I didn't push the car AT ALL. Just hwy and city driving, but thats what daily driving is.

as compared to the lexus gs430 and bmw 5 series, which really felt like crap to me, the suspension was very very soft on these two cars

You didn't list ANY specifications for your needs. There are people on here that are slammed on their nuts and running ridiculous spring rates on their cars making them handle pretty good but ride like absolute ****.

Give us a budget/ ANY requisites and you might get some better answers, but don't expect me to say that the "best" is ksport/omni/etc.

ok, i admit me asking for the BEST coilover was dumb. what i meant was are there any good coilovers for street use? meaning, the car will only be driven for everyday use. something comfortable. i know keeping it stock would be best but im really wanting to lower it and put some volks on it.

why do you want coilovers? I'd just suggest going with a good spring set and be done with it. Eibach are generally good

^ I was wondering the same thing. Usually the only people get coilovers is cause they want to be dumped.

For a good drop matched to your car I'd recommend Comptech Springs. Buddy has them and they ride as good as stock and the car handles a lot better.

You can't ask for best until you define what your "best" is.
