Default Suspension Upgrade

I`m planning on upgrading my 98 uk wagon.
All i have at the moment is H&R springs.

But not quite sure what to go for ??

I`d be changing the front & rear anti-roll bars, along with drop links, but should i go for coilovers...or just decent struts, and keep the H&R`s.

I`m not fussy on going any lower, as i`m on 18`s..

Any advice ?

Do yourself a big favour and go to www.whiteline.com.au and read all they have to say. All proven good stuff!
They cover mods from mild to wild.

i'm going to have to start doing quite a bit of mileage in my car with quite a bit being on b roads so i need a setup thats a bit softer.

i've got another set of coilovers though which i will probably put on when i don't have to use it so much anymore.

they are hard but personally i didn't find them too hard for general driving. it can get a bit bumpy at low speed but get better the faster you go. they are height adjustable and also 12 stage damping adjustable so you should be able to find a good setup for whatever your use might be.
