Ask 10 different guys what coilovers they like, you'll probably get 10 different answers.
Why exactly are you looking for coilovers? Honestly, if you're just daily driving the car, you'd be fine with a decent spring/shock combo.
Do some research and decide what setup is going to best for you instead of asking a bunch of random internet dudes what their favorite flavor-of-the-month coilover is (there's enough of those threads anyway). You'll probably end up happier in the end, might even save you some money.

for just a DD i'd get a spring/shock combo, i had stance gr sport and even on full soft they are still pretty stiff. if you are set on coilovers you might look at something with softer spring rates, the tanabe sustec type II s-oc's are 6k/4k instead of the normal 8k/6k rates most others use.

im running this setup on my car right now. they are very nice for a dd, and i can still get good use out them on mountain runs and the track. id recommend them!

i would have to agree. i run stance gr+ pro and they are way stiff and bouncy no matter what setting i run them at. really hurts my grip when i corner on roads that are not 100% smooth.

if you don't mind a small drop (1.5 - 2" at most) then i would suggest looking into the ground control setups that some members have done on this forum. really comfy and handles awesome from what i hear.

here's a thread i had made myself, i ended up swapping to the nismo s tune kit after i wasn't pleased with the ride of the coilovers.

Uh?? I have GR+ Pro's. There stiff I'll give the that, bouncy no. If you set them up right they don't bouncy. They just follow bumps. If I could get more stroke I'd be set.
I have some bumpy ass roads in Carmel too. But they are bouncy.
To OP: Like they said search. After that do the research about it. Then if there any question left ask.
For just DD and that means no road racing I'd also say get Strut/Spring. Again search there be a ton of answers.

I am closing this before it turns full on into the repeating of "SEARCH!!!" even if that was what should have taken place from the outset.
