JIC has almost no US support, I'd stay away.
I haven't heard from anyone running the Buddy Clubs.
GP Sports......no idea.

Here's the thing; there are very few setups that are ideal for daily driving and tracking the car. You really need to decide one way or the other.

The Whiteline Group 4's are supposed to be some of the best daily-driving coilovers, FWIW.

Group 4's are way out of my price range. The majority of the mileage will be daily driving, but I don't want them to be horrible for going to the track. If this was going to be mainly a track dedicated car, I'd go back to the Tein RA's that I had, those would have been amazing for the track. This will be the last and final setup that I ever do (famous last words, but trust me on this), I hate wasting all this time and money on swapping setup's to get the right ones, its very frustrating. So far, I've bought nothing but used suspension, and it shows, and I've been unsatisfied on both accounts.

I had two different sets of Teins, and they didn't impress (though the RA's were impressive for track going suspension). And for the price that Cusco's sell at, and compared to what you can get at the same price, your paying for the name for Cusco's IMO.

The Whitelines are cheaper than my KW's were. I really think they would be perfect for what you are trying to accomplish.

What is your price range? If this is the last and final setup you want to put on the car then do not go cheap. You will regret it down the road.

Hmmmm, good point. The Variant 3's are around $1800 and the Whitelines are $2100. Do you know where I can get the whitelines cheaper? Ideally, yes, the whitelines are exactly what I would want, but I thought $2100 was a bit steep.

Edit: Also, I'm not looking for something that's all comfy, I do like it quite stiff. The cusco's and tein's that I had/have were/are bouncy as hell, and I don't want that anymore.

Umm, my V3's were more like $2,100. Plus you have to buy strut tops ($250 for Cusco camber plates for the fronts, $165 for Group N rears).

The Whitelines were going for $1,800 - let me do some checking...
