Coilovers for the drift car

ok so i have been shopping around for coilovers because i want the best setup for my car since im going to be difting it i dont want to just get any coilovers and then have to spend money later on some better ones so i have been carefully looking for a setup that will be good for me the first one i have been looking at:

TEIN SUPER DRIFT w/EDFC:
the reason im looking at these is because tein has really good coilovers and doing the research i like the set up along with the edfc to control the settings from inside the car and they seem to be affordable

the next is
DG5 which is the KEI OFFICE by KEIICHI TSUCHIYA
i like the 30 way adjustable and i love his old kei office which a friend of mine has on his rx7 really nice for the track the springs rate is really great for track driving however for street they are a bit stiff but they are awsome for the track but the price is a bit steep for my budget at the moment how ever they seem to be worth it

and the third ones
THE NEW APEXI DRIFT SPECS recommended by KMR
i was looking at these and they seem to be pretty nice im not sure how they feel however i have heard really good reviews about them the price is not to steep but not cheap either they would be about the same price as the tein with the edfc....so these are the coil overs im looking any advice would be great or if you have coilovers that you know of let me know besides these 3
