tein basic, megan or ksport coilover?

Hi, I need help picking out a coilover package for my 03 TL-S. It's my daily driver, so i want good handling without sacrificing too much of the ride. I have 18" rims with tokico shocks and eibach springs (springs/shocks have been on my car for 8 years). I also have front camber adjusters installed but still seem to be wearing the insides of the tires even after 2 alignmets. I'm leaning towards the Ksport kontrol pro, but any info would be appreciated. Thanks!

if you mean dampening wise; mine are:
since they don't "click" when you turn the knob i'm gonna try to use a number scale with 1=softest & 10=stiffest

fronts= ~8.5
rears= ~5

i've tried to test them out by driving on roads that i know are bad and bumpy. i've gone over those railroad tracks that aren't flush with the road (35mph). of course its not gonna be smooth like stock and you get the initial jolt to the whole car, but nothing that isn't controllable.
