Sawatdee Khrab chillselalu,
I'm in agreement with MikeBuzzsaw. Your stock suspension is too soft, thus when you are under full compression your tires will rub. You need to get either the Eibach or H&R springs. The springs will stiffen up the suspension so that when you hit a bump or dip on the road, your tires will not rub. If you're intent on getting the M suspension, be ready to pay a lot of money to retrofit it.

KW Variant2 or HR Coilovers = I approve.
KW offer adjustable ride height and also adjustable dampening. More expensive than HR which only has adjustable height.
Will cost less than buying mtech stuff.
Again, only my personal opinion. You seem set on buyin mtech so just go for it.

Again, I agree with MikeBuzzsaw. Go with the KW coilovers. It'll be less than retrofitting the M suspension and just as good if not better.

I don't know that much about the details involved in changing suspension, but I have the M-sport suspension and it is fabulous! The ride height and handling (with 19" Conti Sport contact 2s) is perfect. Definately firm but not harsh at all, and feel great when you push it. If you can replicate it for a better price, go for it. Enjoy!

An OEM shock and aftermarket spring isn't recommended as the aftermarket spring will cause the shocks to wear out sooner. I believe there are a few members with H&R sports who changed out their shocks due to them being worn/blown.
Also, I don't think adding springs to a stock suspension helps much in terms of handling. Sure it's a lower, but overall I think it's more for look than performance.

I'd go with some eibachs and konis. The konis should give better performance than the M-tech shock.
