Default Coil over help

I'm looking at BMR for all my chassis needs. Now I got to find coil overs front and back. My dilemma is who should I go with? Price is not an issue if its the best I'll get it. Also what is the stock off set of the rims? Thanks fellas...

not sure about the offset of the stock rims but I went with H&R coilovers I got used here from a forum member whose car was a SEMA demo car and they are great nice ride very easy to adjust and the stance is killer, if you go over 1.75" in the back don't forget to cut your factory bumpstops hope this helps BW

if you want the best, get the Tein Type Flex with EDFC or the KW Variant III. the Variant III's have remote reservoirs, but the Flex dampers are compatible with the Tein EDFC (Electronic Damping Force Controller) system... think coil-overs that can be adjusted from the driver seat while driving via an electronic controller.

The KW VIII's are a bit much for a street car. I'm running the VII's with great success. KW used my car for development and used post rig data to come up with the setup on my car.

Look up RobiSpec.com and talk to Robert Fuller (Robi). He's the engineer for KW that set my car up. They also have other things in the works.

Here's the thing should I go all out and get EDFC tpye stuff, or should I go with manual adjust type. How often would I use a EDFC system on a DD. I'm not trying to make a race car. I just want to put the rite stuff on the car the first time. I want to lower the stance and be able to get the power to the road while improving handling as well. All the input is great thanks...
