Really it depends on the inended use and how much your prepared to spend, if your doing serious track work then you should be looking at the best from, Leda, Ohlins, AST etc (make sure your seated when you ask the price of the Ohlins!!!) if your on a tighter budget and they are mainly for road use, you could try these
https://www.scoobynet.com/suspension...eal-429-a.html
I've no experience with them but it seems to me there's little to choose between Coilovers at the budget end of the price scale, and at £429 these are good money and seem to tick all the boxes spec wise.

its not just coilovers,its who does geometry set up thats as important ! had mine REDONE at chevron motorsport,and all i can say is wow,spent the whole day on it as powerstation did an awfull job on it last year,so many faults with what they did to my car its a joke,but then like i say chevron in stafford have sorted it out,i took it out with simon and it was fantastic-then simon tested it with me in passenger seat and oh my god can he drive !!!!!showed me what my car can really do and feels different car now,am well pleased,thanks again simon at chevron,carl.
