    Look at blistien b8's or even grp n's, dont think it matters how low you are as the ride height is determined by your torsion bar not dampers. A budget would help, and what is your car mainly used for, no point going mad with adjustables if its only a road car

    Forget group N then. Overkill for your needs.
    The B8 dampers with some eibachs gives a fantastic ride if you have the money.
