Default what brand of coilovers for up front?

what coil overs would you recommend for the front? i have Koni single adjustables in the back and full BMR suspension in the back.

i am looking at coil overs because they give a lot more flexibility for strip and corner carving and i want a multipurpose car.

what brand would you recommend?

So are you looking for new shocks, or wanting an adjustable ride height?
Shocks: Go ahead and get koni SAs up front too.
Now if you're looking for adjustible ride height, IMO get the GlobalWest front kit(minus the springs). Then buy a pair Hypercoil 2.5"I.D. springs, 10" tall in a 550 lb.in. spring rate.

adjustability mainly, but ride height would be a nice bonus.

how much would that setup run?

Around $380.
$110, for the 2 springs, $270 for the upper and lower spring seat assembly.
