what's the trouble? price? or ride quality?
i had Bilstein PSS coilovers in originally...my ride quality was harsh and turned out that the rear coils collapsed and was causing the rough ride.
then i switched to KW v.1s...which are excellent. ride quality improve tremendously. handling was very nice as well. then after a year or so...i needed to make some fine tune adjustments to dampening, etc...which you can't get from v.1s...so i swapped those out for v.3s which have been great all around.

I went with the Koni coilovers and I am enjoying them more now that I have adjusted.....
them properly. With any coilovers you will need to do some tweeking to get the ride height and shock dampening where you want it. The initial setup will not be perfect.

I am no where near the lowest setting anymore....
I just raised the coilovers up 2", but that is not a 1 for 1. Raising them 2" only brought the car up just over an inch. When installed they were so low that I would bottom out on a speed bump or a dip in the road, plus the ride quality was very harsh. My ride height now from center of fender well to ground is 25 1/2" if I remember correctly.
