coilover question

just wondering, what are the best coilovers for the ss/tc that give good daily driveability but awesome handling?? Going to be going on backcountry roads once or twice a month and maybe do some autocross as well as road racing?? What do you guys think?

dude for them to work, those companies would have to make coilovers for us. Why don't people understand that things aren't universal.

Do not go with ARK. The only way to raise and the lower the car with those is by adjusting spring preload which is a huge no-no. Stick to something with a thread lower mount at least.

^after looking at JBP's setup as well, i think it also adjusts ride height the same way.
