i say go adjustable coilovers. may not provide you with the best ride but you'll have so much more potential with them. my bro got a custom set from groundcontrol. koni shocks and eibach springs. fully adjustable, super nice. amazing handling improvement but if youre looking for a smooth ride...youre outta luck. i was looking into some stasis/koni coilovers from ach tuning, supposedly a great set up.

 

i see youre ridin on 18's too, same as my bro. he had some rubbing issues w/stock suspension under heavy load but was otherwise okay. after coilovers, he was slammed and the tires are rubbing under hard cornering/tight turns. fender rolling is an option, but you also run the risk of cracking the paint from the heat. somewhat rare but it could turn into a costly procedure. rolling the fenders themselves is only about 50-80 per fender, paint will run MUCH higher than that.

 

i like my neuspeed sport springs. they are progressive rate, so under normal driving they are better than stock (in my opinion) but when you get agressive with them they feel much tighter and sportier. they also dropped my ride by like almost 2 inches.

 

yeah progressive rate is the way to go. tighten up when more weight/pressure is put on em. did you buy your springs and your konis at the same time?

 

i decided to go with a bilstien shock and h&r springs, i dont get the adjustable part that i would from a coilover, but its cheaper and the same, if not beetter handeling than what i was originally looking at www.hopupracing.com has gr8 deals on suspension, chek em out

 

I would get h&r race/perched biltein, coilover can be tricky if u dont know what ur doing.

 

yep ive heard only good things bout the h&r race springs. the bilstein PSS-9's are also high quality shocks. coilovers can be tricky i agree, but once you dial em in, your set.

 

Yeah, till u wana do a dif type of driving.

 

def change ur shocks

 

There's a little bit of misinformation in this thread. If you lower your car, your shocks won't necessarily blow. Lowering simpily reduces the amount of shock travel you will see. So as long as you don't lower it so much that shock bottoms out you should be fine. People who run into trouble are the ones that use a spring that is stiffer than stock (ie H&R Race) with stock shocks. Now the shock is overcome and cannot dappen the spring. It gets too hot and then bad things happen.

So, if you lower it just a bit, and use spring rates close to stock, you should be fine.
