HSD makes an inverted Monotube in the front and non inverted rear. I don’t have the rear spring rate but I am certain the fronts are 8k. The price is about $1300.

Here are a few pics.

Have you considered the BC Racing coilovers? They're quite popular with the tC2's lately

I LOVE my ksports. Basically BC's, but a slight bit cheaper. You can go as low as you want to. (Seriously, we had it set so low that my xb2 couldn't even move at one point, haha) Very comfortable if you set them to relatively soft as well!

I have a set of BC racing BR type coilovers coming soon. I chose them because they are a good quality set of basic street coilovers. They have fully independent ride height adjustment from shock and spring preload with a fully threaded shock body and adjustable lower shock body mount. Also equipped with I believe 32 shock stiffness adjustment at the top on front and rear. What really drew me to them is their warranty program of 1 year warranty and anytime after that if any of your coils should fail, they will repair or replace the unit for just $95 each without having to repurchase the whole kit again for just one failed unit. My two cents on it. Racingsolution.com offers them for $995 with free shipping which is where I purchased mine at. Hope this helps.

You can get the "extreme low" version of the coils. They will have shorter dampers and shorter springs to give you that "extreme low" look

Derp, the ksports are also 32 level adjustable dampning as well. I think ksport and bc are made in the same factory, and painted differently (thats what all the local parts stores tell me anyway). Unsure of warranty info on ksports, you'd have to check on their site!
