Default Best coilovers on a budget?

Looking to fit coilovers to my 95' ra and was wondering what would be best for under £1k.

Would prefer a fit and forget coilover like tein basic, kw varient 1 etc as I'm not that good with the setting of 32 clicks adjustable bounce rebound etc.

Your suggestions would be appreciated. Cheers.

Kinda down to between teins or bc but which is better. Had tein on my P1 years ago and liked them but things have no doubt moved on since then. Are the bc's better than tein's?

Biggest question to ask when buying a coilover is can they be overhauled in the UK. Or through a UK dealer if not i would walk away.

Pretty much the same.
Depends on budget and use.

Cheapest first
1.BC/Apex
2. KW Var 3
3. EXE-TC fast road
