Coilovers - advice needed

Right, will have a budget of around 400-500 to spend on coilovers - what are the best for the money. I don't want to go stupidly low but would appreciate a decent ride and improved handling. From what I've heard so far FK or KW are the way to go, heard negative things about JOM in the past though. Any feedback appreciated - thanks guys!

I have KW varient 1's the stainless steel ones, quite pricey but you get what you pay for. Been on for 3 winters now and still look like new and the ride is not too bad either for coilovers, so cant fault them.

mine too are stainless, can adjust them by hand, really worth the extra money

Thanks for the responses guys, I think I'll go for the inox KW variant 1's. Will probably be getting them next month depending on finances :)
