Default Need suspension options!!!

Ok i want to lower my teggy a inch or two but i have no idea what to get there are so many options(lowering springs, coilovers & etc). Since its my DD i want it to handle better then stock(of course lol) without giving up good, quality ride. I was looking at the koni yellow/gc combo(since i can adjust the height) or the eiback pro kit lowering springs but i dont know what shocks to go with. But i wanted to know if there was other setups with more bang for my buck. Thanks in advance.

This is the most commonly recommended setup.
The spring rates vary though, I would read up on the suspension section first. They can also give you a good recommendation based on your driving style, car height and ride quality needs.

My car has about a 2" or just over drop. Dont know what springs are on it since it was like that when I purchased it. It had AGXs which the rears blew out pretty quick so I would not suggest AGXs with a drop over 1". I recently purchased Skunk2 sport struts and love them. They are non-adjustable but the ride quality and handling is great, so is the price!... So Skunk2 sport struts have my vote!

gc+koni. It's the best bang for the buck, extended top hats are always a plus too.

it all depends on what all you what to get in to, my suggestions would be
if you want height and dampening adjustable:
koni yellow + ground controls
or
skunk2 pro c coilovers

height adjustable no dampening adjust
skunk2 pro s coilover

damper adjustable no height adjust
koni yellow + eibach pro kit springs

ugrade shocks and springs without any adjust
eibach pro suspension kit

I've got the skunk2 springs and struts, they offer pretty exceptional ride, and they are priced pretty close to to**** blues, afer removing the to****s though, I REALLY SAW the difference in building craftsmanship. the shafts are alot thicker than the to****, and they really are in my opinion a much nicer built suspension piece.

I have a set-up for sale that would suit you nicely. Good control without a harsh ride. Check it out.

Stock struts blow out with lowering springs, at least mine did. The experience I had with a car with adjustable coil overs on it was horrible, they weren't setup right at least. Well I would go fully aftermarket if you lower it or use coil overs, don't use shitty ebay coil overs and dont use them on your stock struts.
