If you do a search for coilovers in this forum, there are multiple topics on this. There isn't one considered the best, it's really based on your preferences. You have coilovers that range from $1000 to $6000 so you just have to read the opinions and figure out which is going to work best for you.

The best for the isf are Ohlins and Penske, but they're pricey.

BINGO! I have Penske myself and would never buy cheap BC or any other budget coilovers again.

i would go with kw's v3 for daily driving, they are perfect as they use the stock top hats so there's not noise and they ride super smooth, i got mine from mike over at figs engineering. He also sells the Öhlins which are amazing if you can afford those.

Except they use plastic spring perches and multiple members have broken them.

Ohlins for daily driving with track time. Penske for track car that sees the road some. Those are the best.

Well put. Ohlins is really a perfect balance between Road and Track.
