I now have Eibach coilovers and i am well impressed so far. BUT, think what you want them for. Coilovers are harder and harsher than OEM suspension will ever be. I was used to Eibach springs and OEM shockers before and the coilovers were still a little harsher than that. It really is important what you want from this as if you spend £1000 (Eibachs) on coilovers and then dont like them, its not good.

Love my BC's, they don't feel much diffeent to standard STI shocks for comfort. A lot of people have been in my car and didn't believe i had coiliovers on it as they ride so well.

why not try teins......... just make sure you have a good dentist or chiropractor
seriously though everyone seems to rave about bc coilovers.
Think either scoobyworld or scoobyparts had some genuine prodrive springs for sale.

It has to go back to the OP to decide what they want and need from the car. OEM set up to any coilovers is going to be a big shock as regards harshness and ride quality when compared to OEM.
I also knew about EXE-TC but would not spend that amount of money. My Eibachs cost me £940 and are very good for the money. Also, i did not want ultimate adjustment either. The Eibach coilovers are only ride height adjustable. I knew for a fact that i would be messing around or forever wandering if any adjustable ones could be set up better! LOL.
So, grecian.s1 think very carefully what you actually want! It can be a minefield.
