Default coilovers

what kit is the best bang for the buck? Also coilovers all around or just front and what kind of spring in the rear then? Car is a daily driver that does go to the track. Just want the car to ride like stock, be lower, and not kill me at the track.

Here's some great stickies to read:

With those mentioned, I'd like to ask, what exactly are you doing AFA "at the track?"

I noticed that you mentioned on your FQuick page a 1/4 mile time, so are you looking at primarily drag racing, or some sort of AutoCross/OpenTrack/RoadRace type of competition.

While there is nothing wrong for desiring what you mentioned above, it's not very realistic, though you can come pretty close.

AFA the coil-overs, you'll be spending quite a bit of money and getting very little in return for what you're aiming for. Don't rule out the possibility of considering a good "replacement style" spring.
