Not the cheapest but you pay for what you get with coil overs, these are probably the best vfm you can get tbh.

What's your budget - I've been in cars with Tein and BC set-ups, I've got Meister Rs which are as good on the road as my previous springs and shocks set-up

I've just fitted a set of exe-tc competition fast road coilovers to my bug not the all singing all dancing ones just the height adjustable ones & its transformed the car, the damping feels firmer than the sti dampers they replaced but the handling & ride is miles better because the spring rates are specific to the car. :thumb

Interesting to read about your experience with the exe tc's mate. I've got a set of remote reservoir ones to go on my Ra. The quality of them is second to none isn't it. They don't seem a particularly popular choice tho, there isn't many cars running them. Ha r you had them out in track yet?

Ride height is almost the same as the sti dampers & H&R springs I had on there, maybe 1cm lower all round but the dampers are at their optimum height exactly half way between full compression/extension so should be working as best they can.
Will get back to you once I've got a few more miles on them
Edit: and yes the build quality is fantastic!
I'm guessing cost & low volume production are reasons for them not being widely used, I've been told that exe-tc only make stuff for production cars when they have down time from making all the wrc stuff.
