Default Eibach Pro Kit springs and Bilstein sport shocks. I like it, but I don't race or anything

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/42525/driver.jpg"></center><p>I drive on a lot of bumpy roads and I drive a lot. I refuse to get a big expensive fancy suspension setup when the car doesn't really need it.

Default do you mean OEM sport shocks? if not...look at my sig

Bilstein shocks, Vogtland springs, also have H-sport sways, although those dont realy affect ride height (i wouldnt think anyway). possibly the best $1,065 (shipped, i installed it all) i spent.

Default oem sport springs + bilstein grooved

I love it, very sporty but still very comfortable
I think aftermarket springs would be too stiff.
I was afraid the ride would be too stiff, but sometimes I can't even tell the difference between oem (non sport) and this.

Default H&R sport w/Bilstein grooved,,,

My pic is below and my experience is 7+ years with this setup and I still like it. It also was not that expensive and was easy for me to install. I also put Neuspeed front and rear sway bars on to add to the handling. You don't want to just do things half way.
