he's asking what in specific are you looking for? ground control's paired with koni yellows is a tried and true setup. plus, you get to choose whatever spring rates you want to run.

You want a full coilover or a sleeve kit and shock combo? You going to daily drive, x-cross, etc? You have a ride quality you want to obtain or does that not mater? You want to go cheap as in Ebay or do you have a budget?

I would imagine Bilsteins are a bit easier for you to get. Often recommended for track/street use around here are these:

ALL subject to budget and spring rates desired.

AMR
Koni/GC
Progress CS-II/CS-I
Buddy Club
PIC

And the list really goes on and on. It's going to depend on your budget. You may not be happy with the daily driving comfort of a springrate that's more suited for the track.

Edit: For some reason I assumed you live in Ireland. But I guess you live in Ireland County?
