As JPC says, Eibachs are very good. Also look at H&R...they are renowned for producing excellent springs.

Yes, I know.
I did'nt want to slam it,just a tad (20mm) is fine.
I changed them on Friday and will put some pics up as soon as my Monzas come back from refurb..
Need to get the geometry checked over as well.

At the moment it has a set of fooked  17" Audi alloys on it so until I get the Monzas back on I wont be 100%.
I can say the ride is no worse than OEM so It,s just what I was after.
My days of getting my teeth shook out are now only when I,m in my track car.
