I figured out what I want to do...
I'll re-organize this later, but it will be the info as listed+pic like what you have here+car pic...then all the extras will be catagorized in later posts...nothing against anyone who gets left out of the top...I am just going to chose which ever one...nothing specific(kinda)...just will choose the one that is most visually informative
Nice job on the price too!

Sounds like a good idea. People can post the pics they have in their own posts, in the thread, such as what's being done. So if people want to see more pics of the different systems on cars, they can just scroll through the thread for the pics.

This is all I've been able to find for info/descriptions on the RSS.
Racing improves the breed. H&R RSS Club Sport Coil-Over Suspension Kits come directly from engineers who design and develop racing suspensions.
Blueprinted as coil-overs (not just a modified shock body), the H&R units are hand- assembled in Germany by H&R Speziafedern under rigid ISO 9001 and German TÜV standards. Strict attention to the function of the complete suspension system is the number one design priority.
Their threaded body means that the outside of the strut or shock tubes are threaded like a bolt. This allows the threaded spring perch to be moved up or down to fine-tune the ride height, optimizing looks and handling.
Equally at home on the street or the track, H&R RSS Club Sport Coil-Over Suspension Kits provide enhanced performance, improved corner-holding ability and a sleek, aggressive stance for performance driving characteristics without harshness.
RSS Club Sport Coil-Over Suspension Kits, are designed for the committed motorsport enthusiast who is willing to relinquish some ride comfort in return for handling performance. The firmest coil-over in the H&R street line, the RSS is the choice for weekend track and club sport events.

I did mean PSS though, not PSS9.
Don't worry I'm installing them at full drop 
Damnit I can't find it now, I'm pretty sure it's for the R56, I had seen it on the service section of the Bilstein site. Now I can't find it, meh oh well
Oh, and...

OK guys I think with all of the talk about coilovers lately and all of the past threads we need to create one of these threads to compile all of the info in and have the mods sticky it for everyone
Please add to the list and I will transfer all of the info to the first post
Hopefully we can gather as many pics and choices that we won't know what to do with all of the info
Please give the drop that they allow and the spring rates
Any prices and if they come with camber plates, etc...as well
How-to install coilovers found here!

And like others have said, most of the above coilovers can be had in almost any combination of spring rates.

Great thread, this will definitely help people make decisions on which system is best for them.
Did you think about adding where you found the price that you are listing? It might act as a good point of reference for people so they know which vendors carry what systems. I know for example the price on the Bilstein PSS9's will vary alot more because of the amount of vendors carrying them as opposed to the Cross system being carried by only a few vendors. Just an idea.
