Default suspension mods?

i never really frequent this portion of the site, but im in need some opinions on lowering the S. what kind of suspension/springs would you recommend? this will be for a daily driver with no track time. any advice or inputs would greatly be appreciated it.

if you're not going to track it.. just pick up a street setup.... tein cs, tein flex, ground controls with koni yellows, comptech adjustables with koni yellows, or just springs.. esphiler, tein s tech, hks, list goes on an on... with koni yellows...

just make sure you run an aftermarket shock. I have seen too many people lower there S just on springs and a year later bitch and whine about how there car rides like ****. I told them to get shocks, but decided to skimp out on it. tsk tsk.

Coilovers are the better option, but it seems like you want to just to get it over with the easy way...

oh i know what you mean...coilovers are really a PITA. im young and have alot of time, so i don't mind adjusting them.

i would get springs, but i would want to upgrade the stock struts. i just figure for a little more cash you could have a nice set of coils...

it's hard to get 2 inches on springs..

espilers: 1.25-1.5
neuspeed: 1.5-1.75
skunk2: i think its like 1.75-2...(but i would pass)

most of the others are just 1 inch drops....

either way.. make sure you get some koni yellows with whatever you end up getting..
