Default Coilovers?

So, I am upgrading my suspension to coilovers. I am asking here what coilovers I should get in your opinions since I mostly do drift. Other than drift I auto-x and hardly drag race. I don't really mind a bouncy ride as long as the car handles really well. I am looking for the best performance and at least decent quality. My choices:

Megan Racing Street http://www.meganracing.com/products/...asp?prodid=317
Megan Racing Track http://www.meganracing.com/products/...asp?prodid=317

JIC FLT A1 http://www.jic-magic.com/productsjic_susp_flta1us.htm

Tein Super Drift http://www.tein.com/sddamp.html (I don't know much about these...)
Tein HE - I have been in a car with these and I like them.

Feel free to add some and give opinions on these. I want to consider this carefully. I've had a very knowledgeable person suggest JIC FLT A1's (Matt). I'm just getting other opinions. My car is a daily driver at the moment.

My HE's are super stiff but my car handles great... 3rd gear flat out in turn 1 at Sebring. The car is a little unsettled on rough pavement. The car is a 92 coupe w/sr

you have he's patrick? i thought you had ha's for some reason.

it seems alot of people are kind of let down on the megan's, saying theyre underdampened. and the adjustments are like, barely noticeable.

the jic are awesome for the money, and have a little less spring rate, which will be nice doing what you do 90% of the time, street driving.

My HEs are nice, even with a blown strut, though I think when I upgrade i'll be going with the super drifts.

I should be getting my FLT-A1's soon (tomorrow?), and have them on by the weekend. You're welcome to take them for a spin once I get an alignment. I got them for street and occasional auto-x, if I ever get a chance.

I have HE's. They are very good especially for the price. I use my car to drift and drive to work. They aren't that annoying to daily drive on either. Good luck with whatever you get.
