Default Suspension help for noob

Ok guys, I serched and only really came up with coilover kits which can lower my ride.

I just bought a 98 B5 1.8T with a sport suspention and it is shot! I am looking to replace it all the way around but I'm not looking to lower the car. OEM would be fine with me as far as im concerned but I dont really know where to look. Help a brother out....

My goal is just a comfortable ride.

Thanks

Go with a Spring and Shock package. The kits range from $500 to $1,000. Here are some links to help you out.
http://www.awe-tuning.com/
http://www.techtonicstuning.com/index.asp
http://www.purems.com/products/index.php
http://eibach.com/cgi-bin/start.exe/eibach/index.html
http://www.hrsprings.com/

I would go with Koni or Bilstien for your shocks and H&R -sport- for your springs. As far as 'ride feel' which is something I gather you are trying to mantain it will be similar. It will feel more aggresive in the corners but won't give you much crap rolling down the highway. FIRM FIRM FIRM. Trust me, I have koni coilovers on my 98 and a bilstien/H&R package on my 97. I enjoy the 97 more lately...PM me if you need help and welcome to the forum.
