I have Spax Krypton ones which are adjustable stiffness, but one of them is stuck on full hardness 
If you can get some and set it quite soft they should be quite good

ride is firm but not crashy and i'd say -90mm is a bit low for perfect handling but it seems to hang on as much as i ever push it, can't get on ebadger at work unfortunatly

I'm using Jamex dampers with my -100mm rear springs The ride is that bad at all to be honest. But I suspect mine is sitting just above the bump stops as it doesnt drop much lower with a full car. Other than that they work great!

same lol, i don't get how these people go -120mm etc, there isnt any shock travel left!!
all in all i'd get jamex dampers, if your -90mm handling will never be great due to lack of suspension travel (i've had a few tripod incidients lol) so might as well not spend the money on avo's
