Which coilovers are best for our cars?

Spc arms aren't going to slip on the street. They're just not up to track use.

The fact is the choices are pretty limited. It's Kinetix and SPC for street use and SPL and Doran for track use. If money doesn't matter at all then get the Doran arms but be warned they cost more than many sets of coilovers.

I dont think I'm going to track it - maybe once i get all my mods done to see how fast she is at a quarter mile... so i should be ok with SPC for now?

It's high cornering loads that make the SPC's slip. Going straight in the 1/4 mile shouldn't be an issue.
