Definitely Whiteline/Bilstein groupbuy.

As you said it's not just coilovers and it's everything working together in a suspension system that makes it great, not one single component

Why aren't Commodores fast when you put coilovers in them?

I went with Tein type flex from nengun and adj. whiteline swaybars, sydneykids kit is suposed to work really well but i wanted my car to go lower than the springs that he uses. i like my setup but could be a bit stiff for some ppl

Ive heard the S tune nismos are one of the best around.. Soft yet really good on track.. Ill be buying SS from nengun.. seems to be one of the cheaper alternatives and everyone has reported excellent handling and dampening

I've got the TEIN Type Flex in mine along with a few other bits of suspension goodness... makes the car solid like a rock (feel every ripple on the road) but that's the way I like it.

Handles like it's on rails as well.

The only downside is that your passengers will soon get rather annoyed with the ride quality as they cannot possible pre-empt each time the car "bumps"

i think the bilsteins or the nismo gear would be hard to go past.

oh. and forget the G4s. 13Kg front and 8.7kg rear is INSANE. especially with twin tube dampers that will have no hope in hell of controlling a spring that heavy. I run 10kg front and 8kg rear in a GTR and even with top of the line ohlins with remote gas canisters and seperate bump and rebound adjustment (600 settings per shock) they are still too hard for street or track.

Greddy TYPE S is an obvious omision from that list. Engineered and developed for street and track by Takeshi Tsuchiya GT500 and GT300 fame.

ER34 run 8kg front 6kg rear $1999 retail (aimed as a competitor for TEIN RA (one step above FLEX) for specs)

monotube 46mm pistons variable rate springs etc etc

they look pretty damn good for the price. good spring rate, mono-tube damper. worth considering for sure.

Looks interesting.

I see from the Tein site that they have replaced the RA model with the "Mono Flex" which spec wise looks similar to the GReddy unit above.

Would be interested to hear some feedback on both of these products.
