Default best daily driver suspension?

im not a autox *****. im not a drag strip *****. i use my car everyday.

what im looking for is a suspension that wont kill my wallet. all i need is a suspension that can offer a 50/50 combination of stiffness/comfort for the daily drive. a kit that is soft enough for a nice ride and stiff enough to prevent a gangster squat/lean during takeoff and turns.

i also plan to keep a stock height because i like not worrying about scraping.

I love my Neuspeed Sports and Koni Yellows. Pricey, but perfect ride and handling wise.

get softer rates but bigger sway bars, it will handle well and not jar your teeth,
cam be tricky to get the right combo going though

like said before, get a nice OEM bar, aftermarket

Get some konis mated with eibach pros, run them on the softest setting and still handles sweet

cannot get coilovers and keep stock height, the shock bodies are shorter. get type R lcas, struts/springs and some sway bars.

OTS GC rate coilover sleeves on stock shocks at stock/close to stock height. Tighter steering with much better response. Add a rear sway if you don't have one (assuming you have a front)

had this setup for 1.5 years
