I decided to go with the huddersfield spares standard (black) coil with adjustable HI/LOs. This kit was the most cost effective. It came with a spring compressor and knuckles as well. I recieved it this morning but have not had a chance to install it. I will be sure to post a review when i put a few hundred miles on them.

Jsilva, what did you decide to do?
I got my coilovers installed and haven't done a lot of miles yet but so far I'm pretty happy with them....one good thing is that they're easy to adjust if you want to make changes.

I went with the black coil springs (supposedly right in between the blue and red in stiffness) from Huddersfield and I thought they rode and drove much better - but my cones were absolutey hard as rocks and well flattened out....so no real comparison there.
I did about 10K on them before I sold the car and I was really happy with them.
On my current car I'm trying something you all haven't mentioned - coilovers with adjustable shocks. Since the springs are considerably longer I'm hoping for a significant improvement in ride quality.
For me the worst road conditions are bridges - the approach and departures are so extreme anymore it kills my back!

the photo from rosebud is the 3 coil. for coil springs to work , you need at least 2 coil in the middle to do the spring action.

6464, do you have any contact information on minitastic. I can't seem to find any email, website, or phone number.

I bought springs from minitastic which are from England and Delta mini which are from Japan. It is what minitastic calls their town springs and delta mini calls their long stroke. both have an extra coil, 4 instead of the usual 3. the ride is soft, not as soft as a hydro. IMHO much better than cones or the other 3 coil springs because it takes out all the choppyness. Here the roads are terrible and I use the mini as a daily driver. very happy with them both.

I put the hi-lo's and blue springs in. I like the ride, but I had never driven the original setup. A friend did the same and says it feels much better than his cones.
