Default Cant decide on which full coilovers to buy..need help

my car is going to be 92 hatch...h22 swap with nos. mostly street and prolly a good amount of visits to the 1/4 as well. i am considering a set of tein (not sure which ones yet), possibly a set of used hks, and really anything else out there, tanabe, apexi, koni, ect.

i assume im going to want to get the pillow mounts, since ive heard they enhance stabitilty and i figure that might help out some with the extra weight of the h22.

im not sure which ones will be best suited for what im looking for, i doubt that tein has much of the focus of their coilovers on drag racing, and likewise with alot of the other ones..but i want something that will do both, good for the street and 1/4.

Any suggestions? thanx

the pillow ball upper mounts arent absolutely neccesary. they will add a little noise.

I've got OBX spec R coilovers. I paid $550 for them and LOVE the way they ride, I'm VERY happy with them and the handling.

I second DSC, Tein HA's, but if you got the money, try out those JIC-Magic's. They got the built in camber control and everything. Definately gonna put a hole in your wallet though. I got the Tein SS's and I think they were a good investment for the $1k I paid for em. They're both height and damper adjustable

Instead of full coil-overs, I'd say an H&R cup kit if price is an issue.
