in my opinion for the price i would go eibach springs w/ adjustable koni shocks......but if money isn't an issue....TIEN coilovers or even Eibach coilovers for sure

I dont think people experimented with different suspension kits to actually call anyone one the best.

It all depends on what you want....people have different tastes....but I would definitely tell you to get adjustable struts of some kind to offset any harshness from lowering springs....

Okie...let me be more specific. Which one gives you the better ride than the stock if possible and improves driving ability of the car, while lowering the car.

If money is absolutely no object, the best suspension upgrade that'll improve both ride and handling is the CL500. By Mercedes.

hmmm....a softer ride probably means eibachs...not coil-overs...and adjustable shocks...don't know which ones though...I'm getting some Konis myself...hopefully today or tomorrow..that way I can install my coil-overs...

I would recommend Coilovers over any basic spring shock setup, for several reasons. First because the spring and shock are tested and made as a couple. They work like a well oiled machine. Mixing and Matching is prone to some incompatibilities. Besides one warranty is less to worry about than two. Another reason is the Helper spring found on coilovers but not on springs. And yet another is the Camber plate (very cool). Which is gonna keep you from looking like a riceboy with some mad -2° camber. Aftermarket upper mounts will give you superior road feel to the stock ones.

I would recommend:

Apexi World Sport Coilovers
GAB Revolution II Coilovers
NEX Coilovers

or wait for the TEIN HA's
