The car looks good but for me, thats a little too low since I drive alot. That is crazy that it is that low even at max height. Pretty close to the height i'm looking for though.

Cool, did you find out the range and drop on those godspeed coils?
Ok, it sounds like tanabe sustec pro would suit your needs. Check these out:

I've read these are more for comfort but have very good handling, have a moderate drop and are reliable. Sounds like would suit your needs.
This website has great pricing and you can ask them to bring the price down a little too! I bought my exhaust from them and did this (also says so on their website, top right)
And xci.ed6, drop looks good! How do they ride? And how do you like your 18x9's?

I emailed Godspeed today but they haven't gotten back to me yet. The Tanabe look like a pretty good option if I can get them off that price some. They are the next company I'll hit up. Thanks

Oh ok, cool, it may take a couple days to hear back from godspeed. But yeah, give raceconsultingagency a call and ask them to knock it down. When I was looking around for exhaust they had the best price and I noticed a lot of the products are also lower than everywhere else even ebay. They are very competitive with their pricing. I think I got them to knock $40 off my exhaust too, and the price you see is the priced shipped. Of course, minus whatever you get them to knock off. They're cool there, 10/10 I would buy from them again, lol.
Let me know how everything goes, and I'll continue to keep an eye out for more options!

Honestly, I think you would be alright with either one. I think it comes down to your budget. If you're just DD, avoiding potholes, in general being careful, and have them properly installed they should last for a few years, maybe longer. I think the MAX will be stiffer due to the increase of damper adjustments, however the spring rates are the same. So if that's something that appeals to you, the MAX may be a better option.
From a DD point of view I'd go with the SS. From a performance/spirited driving view, I'd go with the MAX.
Hope this helps.

I'm thinking Im going to go with the Max because they are the most reviewed on other forums and people seem to be very happy with them. By "properly installed", what do you mean? I have watched many coilover installs on youtube and I feel that I am able to install them myself. I want them to last as long as possible so do you think it is necessary to have them professionally installed?
