out of those 4 i'd say the cusco zero2r's would be the best, however if you aren't gonna be using them to track and do a LOT of aggressive driving I would say go with the HKS hipermax 2's or cusco zero 2's (not the 2R's)

I run the HKS hipermax 2's and I am very happy with them...they are very street friendly and they have a lot of adjustability.

I'd vote for the Ohlins Road/Track setup. That will be very tolerable on the street with its low spring rates, and will be great at teh track with some large adjustable sway bars. Pricing is comparable to the others you listed.

If you got the money to spend on zero2r, then you should look into the whiteline coilovers. They are very smooth. At least I thought they were.

It really depends on how you intend to use the car. As Zoeb mentioned, Zero2R's are overkill for a car that won't see the track. Same would go for the Bilsteins and Prodrives.

Something else to think about is warranty and rebuild frequency. Many coilover setups require periodic rebuilds.

Give us some more information on your car and how you intend to use it and we can get you some better responses.
