lowering springs, depending which kind (H&R springs are good). But all in all, i'd say coilover kit (skunk2, tein flex) is the best, but depending on how low you dropped it, it will produce a rough ride. if you're worrying about performance and handling, i'd say go with shocks + coilover kit combo (tein + skunk2/tein flex) then you should be good to go

no, what is your intent for the suspension setup? looks? performance? comfort? and half of what springs/coilovers you use depends on the shocks. this is a stupid question.

Not so.
A full coil set up will ride much better (Tein, JIC, etc.).

Anything adjustible for a better ride, because you could find your perfect setting. You cant do that with a set up that stays the same all the time.

H&R sports on koni yellows or the H&R cup-kit would be my choice.

Amazing set-up for a really good price.

I had neuspeed race springs (2.5" drop) and drove on the street, I loved the ride.

IMO, stock rides like ****. Doesn't transfer any of the bumps in the road back to you.

what you do is just take out the springs and take some metal tubes and weld them in your shock so it doesn't move. GO CART STYLE YOOOO
