I'm running coilovers in front - 2.5" Eibach coilover springs are available in many different free lengths and many different rates just about any place. Don't think you'll find an Eibach in the stock front spring diameter. And the 5" rear Eibachs are easy to source as well. I ended up running 12" in the front; 14" in the rear.

I had Billy HD's and IPD sport springs before. The transformation is dramatic - MUCH better damping, MUCH firmer/tauter, MUCH quieter/more stable/more enjoyable ride quality even though stiffer. Talk to the tech folks at Bilstein and Koni (I did) -- the Koni Sports have MUCH more damping in both compression and rebound than the HD's. Rebound is adjustable, compression isn't.
