Ridetechs are the best riding coilovers or at the top. Be careful of all this lowering to the ground stuff. Best handling and ride is with a 1-1-1/4” drop. Going past 1-1/2” you start to bottom out the shocks on dips and potholes, also you have only 4” of travel, and in the rear you can get binding up of the control arms. That gives a lousy ride potentially. Also past a 1” drop , or 26” measured from the lower wheel lip in back you can get into axel issues do to extreme angles and heat.and More for racing or long freeway speed trips, but something to consider. I have had friends break axels as a long term dad and low speed autocross going to low.
Oh yeah don’t get pedders coilovers. Cheap junk now from China and lousy ride. Had the better made ones for four years, never got good ride from them. Same with bc Racing I have read, to bouncy. Do a search on the forum, lots of threads on it.

I spent a few more dollars over BMR and went with Eibach ProLine. Very happy with stance and ride quality.

For what you are wanting, I second the Ridetechs. Not crazy expensive, 1 million mile warranty.
