want to buy Coilover

My current C32 suspension setup : H&R springs + Bilstien C320 yellow shock absorbers + Eibach front swaybar + stock rear bar, the handling is terrible!
I want to get coilover best for street and hiway driving.

1) How much are the PSS9, RS, H&R roughly? Who sell them online?
2) Is PSS9 harder than the H&R, even at the softest setting?
3) Is RS even harder than PSS9?

Thanks

We offer the H&R Coilover set up for the C32. The cost is $1,299.00. Please contact me if you have any questions or would like to order.

H&R is the softest coilovers from everyone's experience on the boards. if you want just for street n' highway. H&R is pretty the most comfortable.

I've read that H&R coilovers have a rebound rate that is not adjustable. Since you're already running H&R springs and more, you may want greater adjustability than that. Consider adding KW Variant 2 to your consideration list too!

Forgive me, but is there anything else required if H&R coil overs are installed? the website says that it lowers the car 1.2 to 2.0 in the front but depends on a couple things. is that an accurate figure? thanks.

yeah like correct offsets or you'll be rubbing rubber on no time (against the coil!) ;D.

You should not have any rubbing issues with that set-up.
