non-adjustable suspension setup?

[The DON]

I'm in search of a good performance non-adjustable suspension setup. In the faq, people seem to have mixed opinion on progressive(eibach) and linear(h&r) springs. I'm after performance but yet not too harsh on streets and not too wide of a wheel gap between the wheel and fender. If the zanardi setup is an inch lower, I would have bought it in a heartbeat!

Which of the following setup will you guys prefer?

1. eibach + oem dampers
2. h&r + oem dampers
3. oem spring + bilsteins
4. eibach + bilsteins
5. h&r + bilsteins
6. zanardi spring + bilsteins
7. eibach + zanardi dampers
8. h&r + zanardi dampers

Your comment is greatly appreciated.

Anybody knows if there's a set springs that have the same spring rate as the zanardi springs but 1 - 1.5 inch lower?

Thnx BostonNSX, but that thread talks more about installation time than anything else.

Don't forget, you can lower the car using any set of springs if you have Bilstein shocks and install them on the lower mounting perch.

First - I bought H&R springs with stock wheels and shocks. Too much bounce and way too low.

I worked with a vendor who had tried about everything on and off the track. Phil M. of CGI Motorsports listened to what I wanted from a suspension setup for over a 1/2 hour before recommending anything. I wanted excellent streetability, more confidence at the track, slightly lower, no tinkering to do, etc. and he recommended the eibach + bilsteins (top setting).

I have been VERY happy with this setup and the ride is very comperable to the Z suspension (I drove his brothers car a little to compare). Very confident on the track as well. Happy with the service and price too. Give him a call if you are interested in buying a solution and not some parts: http://WWW.CGIMOTORSPORTS.COM is the URL. Good luck to you whatever you decide.
