Default Inputs On Which Coilovers are Good?

Does anyone have any personal inputs on which coilovers have good build quality? Looking to get a set this year, but don't know which one to get. Currently looking at tanabe's sustec and BC's BR set.

I'm on Ksports coils and im satisfied with them. They offer best price for drop, (up to 4") have camber adjustable pillow ball top hats for the fronts, and 32 settings for shock/strut rebound. Oh and they are of course going to make your car handle significantly better. I got mine for ~ $950 on Amazon. Best price I could find. Only negative I have seen for these coils is that one guy had a swaybar endlink tab weld break. I haven't had that problem and I have eibachs swaybars installed and I do like to drive my car like its a scalded cat so hopefully that other guy got a lemon. I can't speak for any other coils as I have no experience with them. Hope that helps.

PS Dont forget to get an alignment after you get your ride height dialled in. I munched a set of FK 452s in 2000 miles because my toe was out of whack and I had 3 degrees of negative camber in the back.

I'm on ksports, but watch out if you live in a place where it snows and you're planning to drive in it.

I've used it for 2 years now and it's rusted to the max. I had to putane it and grease the hell out of it.

I know this might be old post but I recently install some BC racing coilovers on my TC2 and so far I love them. My car handles like a champ I haven't got any issues at all. I was planing to get the KW v2 but I decided to give BC racing a try, At the end of the day it really depends how deep are your pockets. You can give BC racing a try so far I'm super happy.
