If you want coilovers, go with ReSpeed. I'll be installing a set this week on kgray's SA, along with S3 struts, brakes and calipers. If someone needs pics I can post the process after I'm done.

if u get the street style coilover, run a 5" spring. only company i found that has 5" springs were skunk2 and swift.

edit: i have the streets on mine with skunk2 springs. not the pic in the sig. i sacrificed a lot of suspension travel.

Cool Ground Control Uweld coilover kit

Ditto on the Ground Control u weld kit, easy to do and they have great support. Respeed Camber plates installed as well, Bill had great support with machining my struts to fit the camber plates.
Billy has good stuff.

Running Eibach springs 400/700/250 (400lb/7in long/2.5 in dia)
