PSS9 or H&R

I currently have Promini (H&R Springs) on stock struts (I know bad juju, but it's only a temp mod). Here are my Ideas for a suspention setup:

A: Keep the springs I got now http://www.promini.com/product-exec/...arch_model/100 and put some Bilstien struts on.

B: Get The H&R sport coilovers

C: Get the H&R RSS Coilovers

D: Get the Bilstien PSS9 coilovers

As of now Im sure the PSS9's are the best of the setup I have chosen but Im not sure if they are worth the price.

I drive the holy poo out of my car and plan on tracking it here shortly. I also currently have a rear sway bar, adjustable endlinks, Ft Strut bar, and a under body support system.

I just would like to know what ya'll think would be the best set up for my driving habits and what set up would have the best "track" record.

PSS 9 but I'm biased too. I have not heard good things about the H&R suspension.

Bilstiens may well be v.good for your track application
but i am sure they are only adj from only 40mm or more from stock, with our uk roads 215/40 profile tyres on 17" wheels sort of put me off, with local road calming i was scraping underside on 30mm lowering springs, no idea on HR coilovers but could be worth looking at bc racing? as you can ride higher on these for the street...
