I'll suggest Eibach Pro Street S... Fell in love with it with the 9N I had. Can't wait to get these coilies under the new toilet...
Have to say that these coilies were under very "heavy" (or how you say it) conditions. Here in Finland they use salt very much in the highways in winter, and the Eibachs were like brand new next spring.

i have the vmaxx ones and i cannot fault them, well, the only problem is they dont go as low as i want them to, but they will go low enough for what you need, look at my thread and you will see pics of it lowered, ride comfort is great too, not too bumpy but stiffer than standard

May I ask why the coil overs can go lower at one end than the other?

Does anyone choose to have different heights for front and back? . . .for what reason?
