Best coilovers

I need to replace my rear struts and its like 600 bucks for the shop to do them so I'm just gonna do coilovers all around...what's the best bang for my buck? I just read the tech article on camber kits and I'm not gonna do one and I'm also not going lower than 2''. Any input would be awesome! Also I was considering the function and form f1's good? Bad?

Most people will say ISC coilovers from XLR8 or Tein Street Advanced. I don't think you can go wrong with either one. I'm looking to get some Tein soon for a 1.75-2" drop

It depends on what you want in a suspension. The best daily driver setup is the TEIN Street Basis coilovers:

http://store.excelerateperformance.c.../i-512847.aspx

If you want damping adjustment (how soft or firm the ride is), get the TEIN Street Advance coilovers:

http://store.excelerateperformance.c.../i-525373.aspx

If you want more damping and ride height adjustment as well as aluminum top mounts and better overall handling get the XLR8 ISC coilovers:

If you search you'll see there's a lot of complaints on these coilovers. The quality isn't there.

Hopefully it works out for you long term on these. There was a lot of complaints about the durability of these coilovers.
