tell us about how much you want to spend so that people dont go through pages of suggestions that are out of your range. But tein basics are a good coilover set up, and so are the onmi's and skunk 2's

KONI/GC

Best is a very relative word. Whats best for YOUR car/driving may not be the best for mine.

shelf konis with shelf ground controls, and dont drop it rediculously (i'd suggest starting at 5-3/8" measured at the front jack points, and 5-1/2" at the rear jack points) and you will have a great riding combo and a great handling combo.

actually the most reliable and 'smoothest' suspension is the stock one.

Tein is descent but like any JDM suspension it was designed for their roads and track. Common issues are: rust, seized collars, broken adjustments. Personally i would invest in something like Koni Yellow + GC, its a excellent handling combo, can be rebuilt. Good springs, no issues.
