Billsteins or koni SA's and if you are going to change springs and you are looking for handling get stranos. Spring rate doesn't effect ride quality as much as you would suspect. The harshness in the ride would depend more on the stiffness of the strut itself. My koni's on full soft with 600lb stranos in the front ride better than my stock suspension did. I hear that the eibach kit lowers the car more than advertised if you are looking to swap them out, go with the stranos or BMR's.

Koni's would be the best as far as providing the same dampening over the longer term. Bilstiens also work very good I've heard, but over time can get a bit worn and not dampen as well. This matters more to some people than others and many may not notice. I would notice...

I've heard bilstiens dyno curves are similar as if using Koni's at full soft.
