Whats the best priced coilovers?

I just trying to figure out and get some input on which coilovers to go with on my Si sedan. I want to figure out what the best value is, another words which coilover is reasonably priced, but is of good quality.

It depends on how much you want to spend...

The Tein basics and Megan coilovers go for around the same price.

How much are you willing to spend? What are you gonna use it for (ex. autox, daily driving)?

height front and rear, each coil has a knob with 8 settings for firmness, soft setting is near stock in feel on even to semi rough surfaces, and hard is well hard. Search around I have pix and a review of my set around here

^^ Did you ever get them? If so, how do you like them. I think that I may be about to get some coilovers very soon. Just trying to find a great deal and figure out what size wheels to go with.
