Best for what? Value? Performance?
I would say BC ER's, Ridetech, and KW V3 in no particular order. |

In my opinion RideTech is the way to go. They engineered specifically for this platform rather than just slapping different mounts on a generic set of dampers and it show in the way they perform and ride.

What about Detroit Speed? They seem to have some pretty high quality parts, albeit expensive parts.

KW3 if you can find a good deal on them. The new thing out is Ridetech so I'm sure people will recommend those but I'm not sure there are enough people running them to get a lot of feedback.
DSE if you want a pretty piece but they are stupid expensive for coilovers.

Good performance for an "economical" set would be the Megans. At least that's what I'm looking to up on my car because I don't have $3k+ for a single component...

I've got the STD KWs and would recommend the higher staged ones. The Ridetechs are new but its a great company and looks awesome.

The ability of Ridetech strut mounts to allow the camber to be adjusted from street to race settings appears to be a big advantage.
