As Ben Said.

Use the search function.  This has been covered many, many times.

But in short.  Unless you are willing to spend some very serious money - £ Several hundered - Don't bother.  Cheap coilovers are not good.  Better to spend your money on a good shock + spring set up.

Koni + Eibach seems to be the winner.

Depends on how low you want to go? I just put a set of Jamex coilovers on. They are Good at a sensible height. As soon as you drop below 50mm the ride will become crap, as with all coilovers
