(Apart from this should be in "Suspension" forum)

What do you want to achieve?

Road or track or both? What's your partner prepared to put up with? Budget?

Eibachs on standard dampers is a popular u/grade. Cheap (£200 from Tyres Norhampton) & doesn't really compromise ride. Lowered (30mm) car & slightly enhanced handling. Springs prob still too soft for track (find Stef's "Awesome Braking Pics").

Eibachs with Koni adjustables. Not tried it but gives variable damper settings - nearer £500

Leda B - Currently fitted - £1250 odd. On track is excellent Road-wise on softest settings, slightly bangy at low speeds & tendancy to wallow over undulations on M'ways. That's only 'cos haven't played with road settings due to wife. Once up to speed, then its great on A & B roads.

Noise on Ledas - still under investigation but seems to be different from other peoples. Only intrusive when going slow

 

Eibach springs with Bilstein dampers a la PPP/RB5 is a very nice compromise between handling (on the road at least) and ride quality - £1200 me thinks from your local dealer.

If it's a UK car, don't forget there is the Prodrive offering!!

£1200 or there abouts! With full warranty!!!

there is also AVO for around £900 fitted does not make anynoise if i remember correctly and i have not heard any thing bad about them from THE PEOPLE that have them on.

i think also blestien now have adjustable dampers for £800 and they bound to be top quality but you would need to match them up with suitable springs
