Which Coilovers Should I Get?
So I'm able to get a good deal on a set of coilovers from a shop. I was going to get BC's but I've heard that they're just OK. Nothing really spectacular. So I'm listing the coilovers that the shop has. Out of these options, which would be the best? My 8 is my daily driver, I don't do any racing but mainly because I don't have a good setup for it (which is about to change). So I want something that would be good for an occasional auto-cross or track event, but still good for daily driving and obviously to lower it. But I'm not gonna slam it.

If you're just doing an rare occasional event, use your stock setup (with your springs)... unless you just want to lower it, you'll still have fun and be comfortable otherwise. It's already a sports car with a great road/track capability balance. Coilovers will make your ride stiffer on the road, highlighting any road inperfections, decrease suspension travel, and generally cause the car to be much more edgy. That said, it definitely makes the car feel like it handles better, whether the money spent actually does improve things or not depends....

Well I have one bad shock right now. And I figured since I was able to get a good deal, I'd upgrade while I'm at it. I was thinking if I don't get coilovers, then maybe getting a full set of Koni's and keeping the Megan springs...
