Default Springs/struts

Hey every1... Im looking to do my suspension up and I was wondering what the best spring/shock combo would be and if you have pictures that would be even better so I can get an Idea of the drop and how it will look

Can't go wrong with Bilstein & H&R combo. I've got the sport and its great. Do a search though, you'll find plenty of info on this subject.

from what ive heard bilstein shocks are for sportier "track" minded suspension and is suitable for DD but is noticeably stiffer while koni yellows (adjustable) are preferably DD recommended.

as for springs, you can't go wrong with the top brands. search for it and you'll find pretty much everything. the only thing i'd like to add is that unless you are willing on spending serious $$$ and time on your suspension, do not get coilovers.

as for me, im getting some vogtland springs with koni yellows

Two things that will play the largest part in your decision here are budget and what you plan on doing with your car. Do you want to slam it? Track it? Is maintaining a stock(like) ride important to you? Is ride height important? Once you make up your mind on that, you can come up with a solution that will fit your budget.
