Coilover Setup

I am new to this site, and have a question. Im looking for a good coilover system for my FC. I want the car to handle its best, but also to be driven daily. If anyone knows of any good kits out there, I would like some feedback.
-Thanks

If you're already happy w/ your springs and shocks, just put some Ground Control coilovers over your current setup. You might want to do a little research to be sure they'll all fit together.

But if you're looking to spend money on all new stuff -- I've heard that Tein is a great value for great performance.

if you're getting the JIC's and you plan on doing daily driving on streets in the US, get the US JIC's... the Japanese JIC's are GREAT when the road is smooth... but if there are any bumps in the road, you're going to lose your teeth
