    It's a road car mainly.
    IMO, most (younger) people would want the GC to lower the car for looks. If you can live with stockish ride height, because your prioritze function over form, you'd be better off with regular yellow konis or bilstein b6s with eibach or dinan or maybe vogtland springs.

    Then, for a street car, the difference between twin tube konis/sachs/b4 and monotbue billy b6s is comfort vs capability. B6s blow twin tubes out of the water to steal EricSMG's line. But, esp when new, they're much stiffer and harsher, though nothing's harsher than the higher spring rates that some these cheaper ($1k-2k) coilover kits come with.

    Koni yellows with a lowering spring kit will sit slightly lower than the same springs on B6s, but the performance will be worse.

      A lot more stopping power probably comes from 4x the pistons your bbk got and the neutral body tilt from the huge rotor, you reckon?
