Default Suspension setup???

What is a good spring set that won't drop the car to much? I don't want to go lower than an inch? As for shocks, I am looking at either Bilstein, Koni, Tein.... And then I just think should get a set of coilovers. Has anyone installed the cool purple D2's I see all over ebay? This is something I don't wat to go cheap on, but I do want to save money where I can.

Default Eibach will give you a small drop

If I had to do it again I would install Koni's instead of Bilstein, I hear they sit a little lower. Suspension is a ~2,000 purchase once you include the cost of camber correction and installation, alignment.

Default Eibachs will drop the car about an inch. They work well with either Bilsteins or Konis

Both of our TTs have H&R coilovers. Liked them so much on the blue car that I needed a set for the grey car too

I like my KW V1's and they aren't real expensive.
