Having a hard time deciding between the two although I am leaning towards coils so I can adjust the car to the perfect height. The car will not be tracked and I want something fairly comfortable that won't break the bank. Thoughts?

What vehicle do you have? Coilovers are more expensive but provide matched shocks and springs.

I just got my Bilstein B14 PSS installed a couple weeks ago... they ran me about $1,000 and I couldn't be happier, they ride great. Car feels much more planted and I'm way more confident in the corners, and still pretty comforatable

That's good to hear, I am about to install those next week and it sounds like they will deliver exactly what I want out of them. How low did you end up dropping it?

Bilstein B14 PSS coilovers - an excellent choice. I evaluated both Bilstein B14 PSS and KW Street Comfort coilovers in the past and selected KW Street Comfort due to a better price (great promotion was in effect) and ability to lower the vehicle by a minimum amount.
