I know this has been talked about millions of times...

Anyway, I currently have STi springs on my stock WRX struts and I am looking to upgrade over the summer. I am looking to spend 1k. I have really been leaning toward the Tokico D specs with RCE yellow springs (about $900). But there are those "bargain" coils around, like the Megan and BC Racing coils (around $900). I usually don't like to do the "cheap stuff" but Tein and KW coils are just out of my price range.

My problem with coils is that I'm not sure if I will be adjusting them much, I tend to be the set it and forget it type. I know the Tokico's have some adjustability but not as much as coils. My car is my DD and some AutoX. I don't care about ride a whole lot, I mean Reno roads suck enough. I hate noise though. So I don't want to buy coils that will be clunking in 2 years as I have heard can happen with the BC's and Megan's.

Any advice is appreciated...
