suspension C55

So Im getting my wish list together so when the time and cash comes for this upgrade i'm ready to go. Should I go with a coilover kit? and witch is better Bilstein, H&R, renntech?
Note... I might take it to the track only a few times.

What's your intention? Do you want to lower the car for looks? Or do you want to improve handling at the track?

Even if you track your car a "few times", the stock suspension system is quite good on a twisty road coarse. If anything, grippier street or R-compound tires will make far more of an impact than stiffening up the already pretty stiff suspension.

For the streets, the stock suspension is pretty good already from a handling point of view.

I agree with PC:

biggest weakness on this car at the track = tires + brake pads.
