For a near stock ride, I suggest the Tein CS....for more FUNCTION and just a TAD bit stiffer than CS (it's not much!), get the Tein FLEX.
The Tein FLEX is a SUPERIOR coilover setup. Not only does it offer a very wide range of height adjustment (more than the CS), it also allows lowering via the SHOCK BODY rather than compressing the spring...that means that even when the coilovers are at their lowest adjustment point, the shock still has full travel (the only downfall to that is if you have the system set REALLY low and you hit a mean **** dip, you could bottom out...of course, to fix this, you can also adjust via the "standard" way...it's called the FLEX for a reason!)..but this provides a much better ride....also, the FLEX comes with camber adjustment perches...so you can adjust your camber! (come on, how many GS guys have had issues with this!)
$1326 + shipping (and Tax if you're in the communist state of California) for the FLEX...PM me if anyone is interested in a set...

I have my GS on eibachs and stock shocks and I really can't feel the difference. But that's me.
I've had coilovers before (long story but I had to switch out of them) and other than the looks (coilovers were about 1/2 inch lower), the ride seems fine since I'm a daily driver and not a racer and really don't corner hard

for ride quality nothing beats L-tuned = ). i just use sways//lcb//stb to tighten the loose end, while still having great ride quality.
I can't wait to try manaray's tho. a coilover with good ride quality would be the way to go. I tried tein's coilover, so STIFF.
