Best suspension for 300 c -w 265/35/22

I Just put my wheels on and I am looking at all of my options (less air ride) I here all bad news about eibach!
Supposedly H&R springs are the most level setup? Leaning toward theses!!
And obviously the Kw v2 are the most recommended (But Pricey) Then some people are doing srt-8 suspension swap?

It seems like everyone has a bias opinion toward the product they own?

I consider myself to be a pretty knowledgeable car guy but I am trying to get the best recommendation from the people who drive theses cars with these products everyday as i will!
I would appreciate any feedback and driver evaluations on this topic. It seems like too many options to me. I am looking for a level lowered stance and the best ride and handling possible. I have owned three sport trucks with air ride and could care less for the headache on my daily driver!!
I have read several threads from fatchance and others who seem knowledgeable so someone help me make up my mind!
One other thing and I'm done!
Fender rolling? Seems the best tool is the tirerack version?
Anyone know a better tool for less money? or can recommend someone reasonable in SO CAL?

A little bit. I say go with the KW's, that will be your best bet. You won't have to pay extra in the long run. I know that they are pricey, but your ride is worth it!!

As Dubster has alluded, the KW Variant 2s, with adjustable rebound, are the ultimate suspension for the LX cars. Nothing else comes close to giving both the ability to adjust your ride height and provide world-class handling.

Coupled with Hotchkis Sport anti-sway bars front & rear you'll have unsurpassed handling, in addition to the ability to set your ride height to your optimum level.

Read up on KW V2 impressions and adjustments here, lowaired': KW V2 impressions and settings

Read about the KW adjustment ports here: Meister's KW adjustment port mod

See pics of the KW adjustment ports here: http://s12.photobucket.com/albums/a243/computermeister/ Simply click on the KW... line.

I believe that both High Horse Performance and Tbyrne Motorsports, supporting vendors on 300C Forums, carry them. There may be others as well. Simply click on Quick Links, then click on Supporting Vendors to see the full list.
