Good coilovers to a good price?

I want to lower my car, since I will get 17 or 18" wheels on it. But, I dont want the ride to be harsh. Here in Norway we dont have so great roads, and especially not here where I live. It must be street legal (TUV). What are the recommendations? KW? Spax?

Eibach (TRD), TEIN, and Tanabe are popular choices for springs. the only reason why i went with coilovers was for adjustability. i wanted to be able to adjust the suspension between cold and warm seasons. the harshness is something i eventually got used to. -------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
