Default I GIVE UP! 2001 1.8TQ Suspension Upgrade

I've searched AW for months! I give up! Somebody please just tell me what suspension to buy (I plan on getting either 18" or 19" and rolling my fenders, and adding a rear swaybar, neither have been picked out yet), I want to lower the car as much as possible in the summer, and ride as high as possible in the winter. Somebody please point me towards an awesome package/kit that will get rid of body roll and tighten up my car. I'm thinking the tighter the better! At the moment I have the non-sport suspension, I HATE IT! PLEASE HELP! Thanks!

Default Go with coilovers; H&R or Koni are good. + H-sport sway bars.

I was just in the same boat as you last month and decided to get the H&R S4 coilovers from AWE Tuning after researching I found these were highy praised round here. Part #29471-1.

Default coilovers are the solution given your desire for height adjustability.

If you want stiff coilovers, you're not going to be happy with Konis. H&R S4 and KW coilovers would probably suit you well.

not really. Konis are not a great option considering what he said.

Default Koni and Stasis are two entirely different things...

And also quite different when it comes to price. It's not really a matter of opinion that Koni's coilovers are softer than the H&R coilovers.
