get both, but with suspension..get tien type flex system with electronic damping control so you can control the height of ur car from the cockpit

best thing of all, its JdM y0

I'm sure a lot of fellas would agree with me on that, type flex y0

Drop it. Lips are ok but I prefer the stock lip.

have you guys not been listening to what i have been saying? it's going to be one or the other. not both. i have koni shocks with tein ss springs which is about a 1.7 drop. i also have a set of front and rear type r lips. I'm deciding which to put on because i don't want to deal with putting it on and taking it off during winter. both is not an option for me. it's either going to be lowered, or lips. one or the other, not both

You're pretty ill-educated on what the Tein EDFC does. Do you know what it stands for? I don't either but I'm almost certain it's something along the lines of Electronic Damper Force Control. I don't think either 4 of those words can be substituted for Ride Height.
The EDFC lets you adjust the damping from inside the car, eliminating the annoying need to get out pop your hood and turn the little dial a specific number of clicks.

you're in philly. It hasnt snowed here for weeks.

And since you cant drive these streets lowered, I say get the lip.
