K-Sport
I've got the K-Sports on my car and have been very pleased with them. They've been on the car for more than 2 years and 40,000+ miles, and have seen at least 2 full years of autocrossing. The adjustability is nice, but I really only use three settings: 2 clicks in from full hard, 2 clicks in from full soft, and 18 clicks in from full soft (dead center).
These struts have a number of advantages:
1) each strut is 3-4 pounds lighter than stock
2) The softest setting is way stiffer than stock
3) They give you the ability to set your ride height and corner balance the car
4) The rears have 3 adjustable camber positions
5) The fronts have a much wider range of camber adjustability
6) You can adjust dampening for rough or smooth surface tracks
There are some things to consider:
1) The softest setting is waaay stiffer then stock and the interior WILL develop rattles
2) If you lower the car at all, you are going to need adjustable rear toe control arms to get rid of excessive rear toe-in.
3) depending on the rear wheel/tire combo you've got, you may need wheel spacers to prevent the tire/rim from rubbing the spring or spring collars
4) With the car lowered, you'll have to be very careful about rubbing the front end. There will be places you simply cannot get into.
5) Passengers who get car-sick easily are going to barf in your car
