From a basic point of view, when it comes to coilovers you are generally getting what you pay for.

What are you trying to achieve by changing out (i assume) OEM suspension?

If you're looking for quality i.e improvement/adjustibility tein/HSD are a good baseline KW the pricier option but an improvement never the less.

If you are just after aesthetics - maybe settle for a set of pink springs.

If its aethetics/adjustibility - There's an absolute abundance of stuff for sub $1500.

Important to ask yourself
-what exactly you are aiming to achieve?
-what is my budget

A lot of people might rag you out for only wanting to spend $1500 or less on coils saying its a backward step from standard susp (which in fairness it probably is). Retrospective of that, if your OEM suspension has travelled 200,000k's its probably time to change out anyways.

In summary

$1000-$1500 - Ebay, STD, HSD
$1500-$2500 - HSD, Tein, some KW's maybe V1
$2500+ - KW V3, Eibach etc (but i'd be surprised if you're in this region)
