I've got a 2006 with H&R Coilovers. The ride is much better, it understeers far less when pushed hard in the turns; and it's far more stable, especially over 100mph. I'd highly recommend them. The ride height is also adjustable, and when properly set up, it sits at a height that makes it look far better than stock. Don't lower it for looks, by any means; but the way it looks is definitely an added bonus.

I've got the Koni Sport Kit setup and installed by StaSis Engineering and an H&R rear sway bar. I'm very happy with the handling

ya im not much into doing stuff for looks. im more worried about handling. I was lookin into the Bilsteins as well as the H&Rs. Anyone think the bilsteins are worth the extra cash?

Also, did anyone install themselves? I m pretty mechanical im new to the car world but I have been working on my motocross bikes forever. Which are now gone, reson why i had to have a car.

I think the Bilsteins are very good. I had them install on another car and they made a world of difrence. I'm waiting until I have the money... Also some nice OM parts is from ABT Sportsline that also great. Here is the link: http://www.abt-sportsline.de/suspens...34.0.html?&L=1
