Ive got Koni's on the rear and Bilstein coilovers on the front... Mine was setup by previous owner to be a track car and she handles very well

Stay away from AVO coilovers. I have them on my Escort Cossie, and for road use are not very nice. Very noisy. Handles OK, but noisy. And given the state of some of the B roads I drive, are not good at all.

I've met with many Koni failures recently so I dunno about them. I have Bilstein B6 and they stand POlish roads which means they are really tough. I am not sure about the spring choice. I have Lesjofors progressive springs but am wondering about going a little bit more suspension travel specially on the rear.
