Default Suspension brands?

My s2 has been lowered around 60mm i think. Which in most peoples opinion is to low for handling etc. However, as for stance it is perfect as its two different sets of springs front and back (not sure what makes, front ones are red, rear are purple). I have been looking at shortened shocks as the standard ones tend to bottom out.

Ideally, I would like to go for a 40mm suspension kit (i.e shocks and springs) however, one thing i have noticed alot is that the rear end tends to sag with certain spring kits. Which is why im thinking of just going for shocks and keeping my low stance.

However,

Does anyone know of a good suspension set that doesn't suffer from this sagging problem? i.e spax, gmax, koni etc...

cheers

i have KONI + H&R Spring set under installation, and looks pretty good quality. I can answer properly when i can drive the car.
