i have the tanabe pro ss coilovers and they are great on the strret and the track. the ss evolutions are supposed to be sick though, they have automatic programmable electronic adjustments for speed and acceleration. im looking at getting those now 
even with only like 3k miles on my new ones.

Get some Zeals, just plain amazing. I've got Gabs on my FC, and the are great, but way to short and the ride is a tad harsh on bigger bumps. I rode in a car with Zeal B6s, turned up to 25/30 (I think), they still rode better than my Gabs, but were just as solid.

One more guy that loves Zeal. I rode in Rishie(ARDT2'S) RX-8 on Zeals and they are NICE. I had JIC FLTA-2s on my old car and the difference between them and Rishie's Zeals is amazing. The ride comfort of the Zeals is unreal and from what I hear, they're insane on the track too.
Also, "rebuildable" is a good thing.
All that means is if you ever have a problem with the coilover, you can get parts and have them serviced. JICs are NOT rebuildable, so if one beginns to leak fluid, your only option is to buy a new one for big bucks. With Zeal, for instance, you can send in your parts fand they'll service them for you. Much cheaper.
