I had the Espiler springs on my AP1 and they rode awesome, just a tad stiffer than stock, with a great drop. I would get them again if I got another S.

I'm going to try the Skunk2's. They are a 2 inch drop all around. It would make the S less 4 x 4ish.

Eibach here n I like them alot. From what I heard anything more than an inch might hurt the stock shocks rather quickly... If you looking strictly looks then get skunk2... But for quality ride n handling go Eibach, tein, espelier. Swift is good but much more expensive than those 3 I just named.

No factory shock will last all that long with lowering springs. The best spring for stock shocks, is stock. The lower you go with the spring, the faster your shocks will deteriorate.

thats why swifts are the best
they retain pretty much factory specs with lowering your car only an inch...
