I'd say H&R. Bilstein are the best, but are prohibitively expensive...well for me, anyways. I don't feel like spending $2K on springs.

d2,ksport or tein basic is fine for what you want to do. I think there someone selling some used tein basics for cheap.

are you possitive cause i know none of those have been tested on the c32 so the coils might be to soft because of the weight difference dont you think?

there all the same. only difference is that you have to drill the sway bar end link from 10mm to 12mm. I wrote a d2 review, just do a search.

from your list of choices...i'd go with H&R.

get tein if you want to get the TEIN Superstreet adjustable. TEIN basic is getting a little too pricey to be worth it.

you can get H&R for around $1k.
