Bilstein PSS9 gets my vote.

But why do you need to be nice and low? If you can spend an extra 200 you can get the RB320 struts and prodrive springs which would be muuuuuch better for a dd car than coilovers.

well, lowering it even a little bit will help a lot with that. Lowering the car too much is going to hurt performance.

If you just want it lowered, why not go with springs? If you really want coilovers, what about the T2's with the softer springs?

perhaps go with that new prodrive FP setup... or the PSS9 coilover setup... OR RCE T2's

Due to what you have said, I vote PSS9's or the prodrive setup, the T2's are a good solution too but perhaps overkill for what you seem to have as priorities.

Tein Flex Coilovers are a fairly good choice but it really depends on your driving habits...
