Trying to find a suspensio setup?

I don't believe I need coilovers. My current setup on my B5 is: Bilstein shocks with MTM Springs. I really like the way it sits and rides.

What are some of my options here for the suspension? Let me see some pictures of ride height and tell me about the ride quality.

There really aren't many spring/shock combinations right now.

Neither Bilstein nor Koni have an off the shelf shock for our cars yet.

SPP sells bilsteins with the front shocks revalved, which can be paired with H&R sport springs.

The next step in terms of cost would be a Tein basic setup.

After that you get into all the coilover options...

I am sure that Koni and Bilstein are developing shocks for our car, but I have no idea when/if they will be available.

IMHO anything other then co's is a step back on this car...

you need coilovers if you want better performance.

Well STaSIS is going to be the best....

KW V3's are nice as are the PSS9's. If you want the best performance STaSIS is the way to go, to save some bucks (if your not going to the track then...) get the KW's or PSS9's.
