What's your car again?

Big brands that come to mind right now are KW, Bilstein or Tein.

i usually go on stiffness of the springs and rebound of the shocks, unless you want to make your own DIY coilover much better cuz, you know how your car acts and needs ill post how to make your own DIY coilover as soon as i get my laptop back. just a sample on what i do here is the pic i run on my AE86's only $500 if you make it your own

What will be the porpuse of the car? ie Track car, weekend racer, daily driver....
What other mods to you plan on doing to the suspension and what is your HP goal? These factors will determain what and how much you should spend on coilovers.

Just my .02 cents... don't focus on Brand Name as several brands are made at the same manufaturing plant. Foucs on spring rates, build quality and dampning rates.
