Thank you for your suggestion. Well in that case, I guess I'd go for H&R Sport + B8 Dampers as 1.5" which is the minimum for the B14 would be a bit too low for India.

The urban roads are good but the countryside scene is bad and I'll often do country side drives with around 4 people on board so getting the coilovers won't be wise I guess. The labour is fairly cheap and once I upgrade to B8s the stock dampers would be of no use and neither I'm going to get any resale for the same so how bout using the stock dampers with H&R Sport for 15-20k kms and then upgrading to B8s?

There's one question bothering me now, how would the scene be with 4 people + luggage on board on a countryside drive on H&R Sport on stock dampers ? What's should I expect in the worst case ?
