Best Coilovers

So I put my 22's on over the weekend and damn they look hot, but it needs to be dropped to get that perfect stance. I have read that going with just springs will blow the shocks out in no time flat, so I'm going to do it right and get a set of coilovers. My question is what brands are available and are any of them completley adjustable. I have read on some posts that the rear ones can't be adjusted unless you drop the rear cradle, which means a lot of work and a lift required. Is there anything out there that will allow me to adjust by just taking the tires off and using a floor jack? Also some links to some good sites selling this stuff would greatly be appreciated. I'll post some pics soon, I took some yesterday but didn't have a chance to upload them while I was home. Thanks guys.

If you're looking for the best coilovers, the best ones out there are the KW2's. They're a bit pricey but worth it in my opinion.

Teins with the edfc, which allows you to adjust dampening electronically from inside your car, are the same price as the kw variant 2's, which allow for dampening adjustments by hand.

No, there are not any coilovers for our cars where the height of the car can easily be adjusted. The fronts are easily to adjust the height, but the rears are more difficult.
Both the KWv2's and Teins allow you to adjust the dampening, but not the compression. I never adjust my KWv2 dampening anymore after I found the front/back settings I like the best.
