Bilstein or KW are the ones most people go for.

Having read up on quite a few other forums (for other cars) The Bilstein PSS9 that Roland of GT Tuning recommend (and nothing else) and the KW's Variant 2's and 3's, that are sold by everyone else (alongside Bilstein) I'll be saving my money and going for some V2 or V3's.

But to be honest nothing will beat getting a chance to ride in 2 cars with the different setups back to back. Not so easily done though.

I've read many a thread (again on other forums for other cars) with people argueing which is better. But (and I'll try find the thread) the arguements ended with the same answer. No one had tried both back to back, Except 2 people.

1st guy sold his PSS9's to get Variant 2's after driving a car with those. In fairness however his PSS9's were worn (not sure how much) and the Variant 2's he'd had chance to test where new.

The other person who'd tried both, got a chance to test PSS9's and V3's, aswell as getting a chance to look at the internals of how they work etc. He went for the V3's.

The PSS9's are an awesome piece of kit don't get me wrong, (Roland will explain why better than I), but think I'll go with the VDub guys and S2000 guys and go for the KW's

Well Bilsteins PSS9's were what the original works challenge race cars ran, think they now use KW and Scottish Challenge Cooper Cars use Leda. Personally I'm quite pleased with my eibachs, which where much cheaper than the PSS9's or the KW's. If doing it again I would chose between the Bilsteins or KW's, but personally I wouldnt lower the car so much Id go with the JCW suspension as few but catching the front bumper.
