Budgetish coilovers

Hello, looking to drop my G sometime soon. There are several options out within the price range I am looking for, I want to have it dropped as well as maintaining that usability as a DD and also great on the back-roads/spirited driving. If you guys have any suggestions/comments about anything please share. Thanks!

Tein Flex Z

Stance XR1(favorite from the list) or the older version Super Sport

Tanabe Sustec Pro S-0C

Fortune Auto 500(slightly out of price range)

BC Racing BR

ISC suspension hands down. Much more compliant than my previous BC coils. Better rates and much better damping.
Price around $850
Oem type.

Tein Flex Z would get my vote for the sub $1k range.

Does it have adjustable damping as well as lowering?

I can't speak for anyone else, but its the only option in the price range made by a company thats had a solid reputation for longer than I've owned some of my socks.

Also, seperate ride height and preload adjustments, single adjustable damping, and the option to add Teins EDFC setup down the road.

Japan-built quality, spring rates closer to OEM (for a more compliant ride for a daily driver), and the use of the OEM top shock mounts which can be a source of noise from coilovers that use non-oem mounts. But these are best for mild drops (2" or less) not a coilover that you should slam.
