best suspension combo?

Tein super street coilover, H&R cup kit, H&R coilovers, or H&R sport springs with adjustable shocks eg./ koni, tokico, kyb

Of these combos which one do you guys think is the best for a stiff but comfortable ride with the occasional autocross event?

Bang for buck, overall, track use, street use, whatever. Just looking for opinions.

it all really depends on what your looking for
-personally i dont like teins cause they dont drop low enough for me
-b&gs wouldnt be good for auto-x cause they dont have an adjustable damper
-h&r coilovers arent out, i dont think
-the rest, you dont have height adjustability.
-you cant really compare the cup kit vs h&r/koni cause cup kit lowers what 2.5" while h&r springs only 1.3".
-the coilovers out there imo are jic flt-a2. they have an adjustable shock body as well as an adjustable lower perch. also has an adjustable damper.. should be out for the SI soon which should fit our car.. but then these cost what $1600 so...

if it was up to me and i had to choose between what we have now, i would go with b&g. it has a "self adjusting" damper, and it drops low enough for show. it runs about 1100, similar to teins. i dont auto-x and my current stock shocks dont have adjustable dampers so i'll deal with it, just as long as i could slam my car i'm happy

I have Neuspeed Sport springs and Konis and I love it. Though it's not as low as I'd like it to be sometimes I think I'm happy I didn't go with RACE springs. I do autoX and I don't wanna be slamming my kit into the ground when i get it. Or busting it up on the crappy streets.

My suspension setup :

Neuspeed Sport (2dr)
Koni
Subframe Stabalizer Rod
18" Wheels w/ 215x40x18
Progress Rear Sway Bar 22mm

awesome-awesome-awesome. : )
