Coilovers decision ge8

HI guys need ur help here to decide on set of Coilovers and i need to lock in in about two days. Mainly gonna use it for dd. Criteria is improve handling, look, and hopeffully durability. I want prolly lower 45mm front and 50 rear.

Which one should I choose
1. Tein street advance - thread type adjustable
2. Bc racing - fully adjustable to get more damper travel
3. Bilstein - progressive spring but no damping adjustability

I m more tend toward either of the first or second just because bilstein has no damping adjustibilty. However i know once i got it set up i wont ever adjust again. Is it better to have damping adjustibility .

And say for tein vs bc which one should i choose. Bc racing fully adjustible seem better but i cant find detail spec sich as spring rate for ge8. If i go with tein*ll bottkm out occur on me considering i wanna lower that much and I m a sensible driver

Thx guys

This has been some time ago, i ended up with a set of tein street advance. Now i sold the jazz and would like to sell if you are interested. The coilovers are in great condition. Done like 10000km and never seen track. I didnt set to agressively low neither. U shud still consider a set like mine if not buying mine

I think Buddy Club and other brands of coilovers, acquired bad raps from guys that bought them to use as a means to drop their cars ridiculously low...
