My mate has Tein SS on his Aristo and they ride great... very comfortable. Only thing I'm not so keen on is to lower the car he has to adjust the spring seat.

Currently eyeing the JIC FLT-FAS (hard spring rates though). Has anyone had any experience with the Locksmice coilovers? On paper they look comfortable too.

I've had the Megan coilovers for about 8 months now- no complaints at all.

When I was looking at suspension, the coilovers I targetted were from H&R.

They are not stiffness adjustable, but they are height adjustable. The spring rates looked daily driver friendly, and the spring rates were progressive in nature which still presented some performance value.

At just over $1k, they are like a premium version of the Tein Basics. But, I would definitely assume that the ride quality would be excellent given H&R's very solid reputation.

Favorite coilovers have to be Zeal. The massive bushings on the front shocks are ridiculous.

I bought a set of STANCE coilovers for my SC a little while ago and them are amazing. But if your looking for comfortable this is not really the coilover for you. My friend has Tein SS on his SC and his stiffest setting is about my softest setting. The Stance's are a very agressive coilover but are made very well. But the Stance also has a 18k and 10k spring rate unlike most other coilovers for the SC which are 14k and 8k. Overall they are awesome and very affordable! $1200 brand new!!

Someone should add Tanabe Sustec Pro "Fives" to the list... I think they might be on to something with the TEAS Active Damping system.
