Zeal/Endless, JIC, and HKS are the absolute best coilovers for the tC.

Of what you listed though, Tein, Tanabe, and the TRD/Progress are probably the best in terms of quality. Tanabe is probably the most comfortable coilovers out of those.

Where's the Progress option.

Megan and Ksport are the coilovers of the ricer world, take them off the list.

Progress, JIC, HKS, Tanabe, and Tein would be a better list.

Not sure if you have thought of this.. but why do you want coilovers? Are you going to tune the suspension and corner balance the car? If not, coilovers are 100% a waste of money. If you are truly into it for good handling and tunability, then they are a good option.

I'd go for Progress. Best performance for the money. JIC's are amazing, but the price tag is just insane.

Ksports are the cheapest option for a reason. I'll guarantee the majority of 'good reviews' were from people who never tracked their car. Everytime I hear of a car at the track with Megan or Ksport coilovers (other cheap crap too), the same question is asked..."Why does my can handle worse than stock?"
