Kei Office Suspension? which one's

Going for kei office suspension products.. but going more for daily driver material with some drifing on the side for weekend fun. what's a good kei office suspension/coilover package to suit my needs?
thanks

i don't think KEI office makes daily driver type stuff. it usually runs 2100 + bux. that doesn't sound daily driver to me. plus it's hard to find over here.

Kei office coilovers and daily driver don't go together, lol. Genreally they are stiff since they are "drift" spec coilovers...and overly expensive

Flex and an extra set of stiffer springs when you go serious with drifting. This is from personal experience. I've had a set of Flex on my car for awhile now, and I love them. And I use them for the same thing you're looking for - mainly daily driving, with some grip/drift on the side. In fact, I drifted on them last week and they held up really good.

HA might be hard to find (I think - I know S14 is discontinued), and while we're on the subject of Tein, HE + "daily driving" does not work out. This is also from personal experience. I had HE's and I hated the daily driver ride so much that I switched to Flex.

Finally, Kei Office doesn't make daily driver coilovers (like HyJynx said). If someone comes in here and says "I daily drive my Kei office" then I'm sure they do, but the ride probably sucks ***, and they just put up with the harshness because to them it's expected to have a harsh ride because they're "high performance drift spec woohoo".

Finally, Wayne hit it on the head - Kei Office is overpriced.

This is also from personal experience - I got to ride in a car with Kei Office, and wow... reminds me of my old Tein HE's plus about $900
