Default Which Coilovers & Wheel/Tire Help

Hey guys, i want to get a good set of coilovers before christmas but have no idea which to choose from. My budget is $1500, and I would like something that can really lower my car & be stiff (not bouncy) but also adjusted to be soft. Which coilovers would you suggest?

I also want to run the widest tires i can, using stock fenders, in the front & rear with 19's (maybe 18's) but don't know what offsets to get or what I should be looking for . I think the widest tire that'll fit in the rear is a 315, but what about the front? And what offsets should I be looking for?

I have Megan EZ Streets, they aren't bad for what they're worth. I'm on the stiffest setting, and they aren't bouncy at all, granted I wish they were stiffer. But for just north of $600 they are the best bang for the buck. Personally I'd go with PBM's.

I agree with Megan coilovers. I have the LPs one though and I run fully stiff too cause I'm pretty low. On your wheels. It just depend what kind of stance u want. U wanna run camber or u wanna run no camber? You wanna roll/pull your fender? You can do a lot with wheels but its just exact what u wanna do. There's a lot of answer to your wheels.
