Is there a coilover setup with a more comfortable ride than OEM '05 sport springs?
I've heard that the Tein Super Streets have about the same comfort level as the OEM '05 sport springs. I've also heard that the H&R's and PSS9's are more harsh and stiff than stock springs. I'm basically looking for the softest, most comfortable ride I can get with a coilover setup that offers both height and dampening adjustment. Anyone had any experience with Megan, Ksport, KW, or any others? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Stay away from the Megan/Ksport ones. I've asked around on those and haven't heard a good thing. You get what you pay for, though. Go with the KW V2s. The adjustments on ride height and dampening will get you a nice drop with a very comfortable ride.

Thanks so much for the input guys.
Matt, your car looks awesome. What sort of suspension setup are you running? And what kind of wheels are those?
Frank, how's the ride with the PSS9's?

Goodluck with the suspension. I'd opt for coilovers over springs any day on our 203's, if you want that really aggressive/no gap stance. plus there's dampening for those who want a more comfortable ride.
