a number of members have gone with Koni shocks as replacements. another option would be bilstein shocks, member r1racer has bilsteins with his H&R sport springs on his 545. let me know if I can help with anything

If you want to adjust the height, the only way to go is coilovers.

The only adjustment you can make with the setup mentioned above is the Ride stiffness. (how hard or soft your shocks/struts react to bumps.)

Coilovers would be the only way to adjust the ride height. If you are after just dampening adjustment, you can do a set of Koni Yellows which allow you to change the stiffness of the shock based on your preferences. For a coilover setup, I highly recommend a set of KWs which are available in only height or height and dampening adjustment.
