There are several threads discussing this very topic, try Searching for them.

For suspension, just like clothes, there is very rarely a "best". How you like to feel your handling/comfort is entirely subjective and how much you feel comfortable being compromized is very personal.

Depends on what you're looking for. Looks? Handling? Adjustability? All of the above?

I always recommend, if you have the budget, get an adjustable coilover.
What looks best to me may be too low or too high for you.
What is too stiff for me might be too soft for you.
Etcetera.

With coilovers, you can determine what's right for YOU! So you can enjoy the car instead of being unhappy every time you hit a corner or go over a pothole.

With that said, if it's out of your budget, and you just want to lover, H&R Sports are a great product and we sell a lot of them. But, if you're a spirited driver, you'll want the coils!

Also, I recommend both Bilstein PSS9's and KW V2's. Both are great coils, with certain strong points and weak points.

If you'll kindly tell me what your goals/driving preferences are and what you're trying to get out of the new suspension system, I will gladly direct you to the right product for you!

If you track your car get coilovers. Nothing beats corner balancing your car for improved handling.

+1, however if you track you'll also need to upgrade your sways!

I have a Bilstein PSS9 setup since last week. The car is lowered about 1.25", damper setting is on "5" (halfway). The car has the same comfort level as stock, with as an added bonus better damper filtering of sudden irregularities in the road (high-speed damping), compared to stock. I expected a ride which would be less comfortable because of the lowering but it isn't the case at all. I still am amazed by this.
