Which setup is the most suitable for Malaysian roads ?Im about to slap on a 19" Breyton Magic and was wondering which kind of suspension is the most suitable for performance and comfort. Plus lowering as well.I know low profile tyres causes bumpiness but I just want the most optimum.ThanksAndrew

Performance obviously is inversely related to comfort.
And comfort goes out the window when you selected 19".
And 19" will be eaten alive by our malaysian roads - you'll spend more time avoiding bumps and portholes rather than enjoying your car. When you are not at the workshop refurbishing your rims, that is.
But, back to your question, H&R springs may be too hard for you; prolly Eibach wud be better.

You should go the whole hog and change your absorbers too. Get Bilstein PSS9s or something similar.

PSS9 is the best for your need, you can lowered the height that you want and tune the stiffness to stock.
Thanks guys. 
My car is mostly used on highways.
Home to Work = Tolled hw, good roads
Home to KL hot spots = nkve > hartamas > clubs.
All are fairly good roads since I have been making note of them.
But most of the time I will be driving my 4wd.
I just wanna toy my car
So a Bilstein PSS9 is suitable ya.. what is the price for the whole lot ?
Any recommendations ? A friend had titans on his E46. He said it was good. Seriously, its ok boh ?

Hot day today, so I went to install my new set of rims.
I was so surprised to find out that the shockies are Bilsteins.
Its the yellow coloured shocks. The previous owner must have forgotten to sell them
It would be a waste so I decide to take a cheaper option.
Bought a Eibach pro kit and installed them immediately.
Drove to Genting earlier with my friends, fuuyoh f**king loved it.
And er, I chose 18's in the end. Still looks awsome. Will post pics.
Thanks guys for the feedback!
