Default Suspension, Coilover question/poll

I am in the market for a new suspension setup. I am looking for somthing that is comfortable to drive on the street but can be taken on the track about every other month and used for road racing/autocross. So far I have been reading reveiws about three different suspension setups with about the same price range.

I was wondering if anybody here had any of these setups locally and would like to throw in some input on their setup. Please do not post if you have not rode, or own that setup. I dont want to hear my freinds uncle has this setup and is sucks. personal experience only please.

So here are my three choices at the moment:
Tein SS
PIC Select
GC OTS/koni sport

(If you have a setup that you think preforms the same or better in the $800- $1300 price range please chime in.)

Thanks.

^^ whip it real good. sometimes you can get stuff for a lesser price that outperforms the higher priced product. i got some omnipower full coilovers street version and they are WONDERFUL got them shipped to me for $650. rides sweet handles corners well and is great at high speeds no bounce or rolls. but at the same time i have a few other suspension goodies that aid my sweet ride, one being a master polyurathne bushing kit. it replaces all the rubbers. so to conclude omnipowers gets my vote!!!

I've been on a set of H&R full coil-overs for a while now. I love them. The ride on the street is not too harsh and they perform wonderfully. My only complaint is lack of dampening adjustment in the strut. My previous set-up was H&R race springs on tokiko blues and I hated it.

Do the omnipower coilovers come with any kind of warranty? I heard alot of good things about the new style they are making. they have adjustable dampening on them right?

tokigo blues n neuspeed yellows made my buddys del sol ride on rails w.o. the crappy ride of a race spring. gave it a 2.5 inch drop in the front n a 2.25 in the rear. prolly one of the best handling cars ive ever been in.

no, i am not.

the koni sport kit comes with lowering springs [1.5 inch drop] from a name-brand spring company [name unknown].

no, no extended pillow tops. from information i have read, pillow tops are not necessary.

all of the guys i know who do autocross, choose the GC/koni combo.
