    Trying to decide on suspension

    Hey guys, I have read a bunch of posts on suspension here and I think I know what I want. I need to get into my front suspension and replace some stuff (passenger tie rod, lower ball joints, sway bar endlinks, etc). I want to lower the car as well, but I would like to maintain a decent ride with low noise. I figure I should do the shocks and struts at the same time since I am going to have it all apart. That way when I can just align it once and be done with it. My top hats (the rubber parts, might not be calling it the right name) are cracked up and should be replaced as well. I was considering the Bilstein B8's with H&R SS springs:

    Will these these upper strut mounts with the Bilsteins?

    Or do I need to go with C/C plates? I had considered going with GC coil overs, but it would probably be a waste since I can't go really low due to the nature of where I drive. As far as appearance is concerned I just want a little bit lower, however I'd like to get rid of the raked look the car has now (see pic). What do you guys think?
