    Check with Dylan at Gorrila Industries (forum sponsor) for available brands and current cost.

    I can second Dylan at Gorilla Industries. I got my KW v3's through him and he had the best price. Great coils and worth looking at if you have the money.

    I've also purchased other things from Dylan and one that arrived damaged on transit and he organised replacements straight away so you know he'll take care of you!

    I've recently had Intrax coilovers fitted. The reason I went that way was that Intrax makes them to your requirements, and I didn't want to lower the car anywhere near as much as most coilovers do (30 mm minimum usually). I went with the 1K2, which has the option of a hardened, low friction coating, and the anti-roll control system. Get the lot and they are about 4000 euro, without those there are about 2300 euro from memory. With fitting you can spend > $7k. For that you get 30 clicks of adjustment that actually work based on the dyno plots and feel. The hard end is extremely stiff for road use, and I will be getting softer springs fitted to suit my tastes. Annecdotally, such as on the Far North Racing website (Autocross To Win), you'll see a fair bit of commentary on the cheaper adjustable dampers giving dyno results that are counter to what the adjustment is claimed to do. I can't compare the Intrax with any other, and there was a clearance problem with the rear anti-roll bar mount that my suspension shop had to fix, but if you really want bump and rebound adjustment that does what it claims to, or specifying your own ride height, then Intrax is worth considering.

    I also run KW V3's (from Dylan also)
    Designed specially for SW20's, full stainless with separate bump and rebound adjustment.
    You can use them with stock strut tops depending on what wheels you have.
    Google for specs.

    Best bang for buck I have been able to find recently are the BC Racing coilovers, they are on the affordable side of the scale and have larger oil reservoirs than most and come with a choice of pillowball top or rubber mount as standard depending on how comfortable or sporty you want it.
     
    My last set cost me $1000.
