The short answer is:

If you want them for the track, and fully adjustable, you will probably have to go high end (e.g., Bilstein, Ohlins), otherwise you tend to find mismatched valving, random spring rates, adjustability controls that either do little or even have the opposite effect desired.

If you are serious about it, get high end ones, and then get them adjusted on a shock dyno. Off the rack wil be a mystery without data for that specific set of shocks and springs.

Or... if you just want something reliable and suitable for day-to-day driving, I recommend not bothering with coil overs and just something basic like Koni yellows and, say, swift springs. Why get adjustable coilovers if you intend to set it and forget it and just drive on the street?
