Most coilovers are teeth breakin if wound down to the bump stops. I would go for some fks. Venom motorsport are normally quite goods for prices

hiya i have a set of kws not slammed right the way but enough to do my steelies justice, they were expensive but definately worth the mney for ride comfort and the ride height (alot of comments at bugjam!)
if you can afford these i would definately recommend.

im on budget coilovers hottuning there basicly the same as the joms, there good for ride hight but if u want to go anyware without looking like a kangeroo dont bother. anything under £200 will be bouncy i not sure what the mid range are.

I'm running FK's , about 2 years old /15Kish miles now - still ok, firm as you would expect , handles great but rebound is a bit harsh for crap roads, sometimes  - feels like I'm going to take off if I hit a fag paper on the motorway :grin: , however they are a good compromise for road and trackday use.  They are also holding up to corrosion pretty well for UK weather!
