Im surprised that a Mugen set-up is not already on your shopping list.

Flamingo,
I was on the understanding that you were after a standard beat? :confused:
when we put the mugen set on ours it totally transformed the car. they were a great balance between daily comfort and fun. they lowered the car by about 25-30mm if i remember rightly. we never had any problems with them.
we bought them a while back when the exchange rate was a lot better tho - think they cost around 650 rather than 1300!! only reason we swapped was that they arent adjustable - ours now has a Gaz setup.
I have Buddy Club fully adjustable coilovers and I have to admit, they're better then i thought. I thought they would be too hard for our rough canadian roads but on a few clicks from softest, they're pretty soft considering the limits of the beats suspension. The fact they're independently height adjustable from the spring thanks to a adjustable lower adapter is nice too.
here are some pics:
