Default Advice needed on suspension

Need some urgent advice on my 06 Hawkeye WRX, going to be replacing my suspension before my mot next week. I am replacing my rear ARB and bushes along with the rear droplinks. I am also replacing my shocks and springs but cant decided which route to go down, its a choice between the Pedders, Tein Sport Basis Coilovers or the BC Coilovers from scoobyworld which are preset. Now just using the car as a daily driverso what would people recommend, thanks Chris.

There's a road near me that's cambered on both sides has underlations and ridges all down it.
On bc's the car was difficult to keep in a straight line and harsh riding. With the spring and damper combo it's straight as a arrow and flows over the bumps. And as a result it's a lot faster down that road!

You just need to be honest with what the cars going to be used for and select the right suspension to suite.

Thanks, think I will go down the pedders route. So how much do they drop the car and can you still use multi story car parks with them?
