eibach is good, but I would also reccomend upgrading struts to something like kyb, koni, or tokico.

agx will blow out with a 2.5" drop, go with tockikos or koni's, your ride quality is all in the shocks not the springs. ive used tenzo **** springs on koni/neuspeed shocks and it rode perfect

by the time you buy springs and shocks, the money you spent could have bought full adjustable coilovers, the the right thing the first time, get full coils

I wouldn't say a full coilover setup is comfortable.

Eibach pro-kit i would have to say.

have you ever even own kyb's or are you going by the rumors, i've rode mine with 2.5 maybe more for more then 3 years and they're still good, i/ve owned tokicos they're aren't really different in ride but i do trust does more then kybs but in the other hand i alredy have 3 year and counting with my kybs... so it's mostly preferance

Comfortable low ride? Your best bet is going to be air ride on that one.

I disagree. My buddy has full Megan Racing coilovers on his DC5, it's rides like stock and looks mean as hell.

im going by what kyb tech support told me, i had a set a few years back, i sold them cause kyb told me they will blow out with more than a 1.25" drop and even on there stiffest setting they cant handle a 250lb spring. i bought them for $150 for all four new from a friend, so i didnt mind selling them for $280

glad to hear yours are doing good though, nothing sucks more than blown out shocks.

i learned that the hard way, i spent $320 on Swift springs and $510 on neuspeed shocks that = $830 i could have got coil overs for sure!! im an idiot i know.
