the improvement over standard handling is huge. if you buy fully adjustable coilies you can adjust the damping and have it as stiff as you like (oo-er missus)

some people find coilovers a little too harsh even on the softest setting and opt for the basic lowered spring/uprated dampers setup instead, which is not only cheaper but gives a softer ride depending on the shocks you buy.

got fk highsport coilies on mine and there good, handles great along with the neuspeed front antiroll bar and polybushes you can bang it round bends....

but if your thinking of doing this make sure youre rear axle bushes and others are all in good shape, cause if there not its gonna still be a bit scarey... get them done then play with the rest youll love the out come
