Non-adjustable coilover options

What options are out there for non-damping adjustable coilovers? I don't see a whole lot listed besides H&R. I'm thinking something along the lines of the Bilstein PSS or Tein basic's, but I think they only have coil overs for the regular 3. My car being a Speed3. Does anyone know if KW makes a Variant1 for the 3? Can we even swap a coil over from the regular 3 over to the MS3? I don't want it to end up being softer that OEM seeing as I'm not going with a damping adj. shock.

Thanks.
 
If I was you I would spend the extra scratch a go with a fully adjustable setup. If your gonna go that far you may as well go all the way. Coilovers for the mz3 will wrk on the ms3. Just make sure the spring rates are stiff enough. Tein super street's for the mz3 have 340/390 rates, these should work quite well for the ms3, I'll find out for sure this spring when I put mine on. The damping adjustments make such huge difference in how your car feels, they can also change it's tendancy to over/understeer when you adjust only one end at a time. Definitly worth it imho.

Why. I've had adjustable coilovers on my last 3 cars (that I can remember) and once I set them, never adjusted them again. Why spend $300+ more on a feature I'm not going to use.......
 
I think that if you started messing with them to change how your car works you would be hooked. It is unreal how much the car's personality changes.

My thoughts exactly that's why I'm going to be picking up a set of the H&R coilovers soon myself. I had a set on my previous car and for a daily driver, they performed very well I thought. I'm not sure if it applies to the MS3 application but on the Honda, H&R actually matches short-stroke Bilstein dampers with progressive springs.

Unfortunately, like you, I haven't heard much feedback from other MS3 owners as I don't think many of them have went with H&R coilovers.
