Default Coilovers choices

What do you all favor in coilovers between $1500 to $2500?
Still wondering if I made the right choice with Blistein PSS9's

All depends what you expect them to do for you.

i have a full set of tein coilovers and i must admit it corners very, very well. But it is a little stiff for everyday use. Speedbumps are an avoid if possible.

I was very close to getting the tein's but read an older thread on here that recommended KW's instead but they were a bit to expensive.
Bilstein's offered a ride height adjustment of 30 to 50mm and pretty good daily drivability my only doubt is if they are serviceable??
But I finally went all in and got them 2 grand delivered to Australia from the US

I've only used STD R5 coilovers and I can definitely recommend them. Camber adjustable front and rear and get the extenders to adjust the stiffness for the rears.

Dont know anything about the Bilsteins but from personal use I find the KW V3 has brilliant adjustability from comfortable road use to stiff for the track.

I have the KW3 on my car and they are well worth the money. I was in the same boat as you when it came to buying my coilovers, I just waited a lil longer and saved up the rest to get the KW3. I use them on the long drive from Carnarvon to Perth and back and find them quite comfortable not to harsh.
