Default Mild Suspension (search is broke...again)

I searched but yet again, it's f'd up.

Anyway, I've just procured me a daily driver, a white '00 LX sedan, and I'm looking to lower it, but I want to keep as much ride comfort as I can. I searched for it a while ago and found some good suggestions and was going to look into them, but... well, you know.

Anyway, what are some options that we have to do this? I don't want to slam my car, the drivability of it is paramount, but I don't want a 4x4 either. I've got a swapped hatch to play around with.

Thanks for your help

Had alot of different setups, favorite to date for a DD application is RSR Ti2000's on AGX's. They ride nearly like stock but the car handles so much better. You'll want progressive springs, ones that have the coils closer together at one end. The regular coilover kits only offer one rate-too soft and it handles poorly and bottoms out but rides smooth, too stiff and you have a skateboard. H&R sports would be my 2nd choice.

if you want springs you can check the H&R oe style wich don't drop the car too much.

edit: they lower the car f\r .75

Thanks for the responses. Are the RSR Ti2000's progressive? They look the part, but don't specifically say so.

^^^Yes they are, most sport springs are-most coilover/sleeveover setups are not. The coils will be closer together at one end, where the standard rate springs are the same coil spacing from one end to the other.
