I have heard the skunk2 coilovers are really stiff, so they make for a rough ride.

you would also probably have some pretty negative camber so a camber kit and alignment would be in order after install.

Well really depends what your looking for.

The best handling ones would be:
JIC Magic
Zeal
KW

Those would all be the stiffest and most expensive.

For just daily driving/slight track use:
Tein
Tokico
Ground Control

Pretty much any drop over 1.5-2inches is going to require a camber kit(unless you like just wearing the inside inch of your tire). And whenever you do any suspension work you should get an alignment afterwords.
