You wont get std ride hight with coilovers mater, just std suspension setup will get you that High. You dont want to go that high anyhow, just buy a decent set and max them out, should only be a 50mm drop from standard if that

^ What he said,

so if you buy a set of coilovers that lower in the range of, say, 40-100mm, your 16v would be a minimum of 10mm below its standard ride height....
