Default Coilover advise

Decided to lob a set of coilovers on but which ones, probably won't be going on the track with it as I'm limited to time so I don't need to be spending millions!, so after something that will do a good job at a reasonable price

Anyone gone budget on this with good feedback?

I was thinking BCs for y Type R, but heard about them leaking a lot! I had KWs on my old Blob STi and they were spot on

I bought BC too heard they were good for the money & carry 1 year warranty. These were only a bit more than used EBAY items which may have been faulty.

So these ones then?

Are they really decent kit for £300? Saw the Raceland ones for around similar money and they look similar to those. Will be going coilover this year but think I'll probably end up going BC.

Tein basics, very nice ride but still feels more responsive and stiffer over oem
Not sure on the price as they came on the car but have had experience with the meister r brand. Very good quality coilovers and reasonable price too.
Hope this helps
