Stay away from lowering on tokico blue. They are oem replacements, I agree koni FTW, however Tokico Illumnia's will do just fine.

Just looking to lower it, or go threw whole suspension??

Depending on the drop you want you can go with skunk2 lowering springs with koni yellows or tokico blues. Thats going to give you like a 2.3 in drop and ride quality wont be so good. If you want a nice drop and still keep your ride confort, go with tein s-techs and KYB GR2. I know a lot of people arent going to agree with me on the GR2's, but teing S-techs were made to perform just fine with factory replacement shocks, which is what the GR2's are. You will still have nice drive, drive confort, good spring travel and if you want a little more performance you can run the tein springs with KYB AGX's.

Well if your looking for 2 or more inches of drop then you definatly want to go with the skunk2 springs with some koni yellows or tokico blues. The ride confort wont be the worst but you will still be pretty bouncy and stiff with that. Again if you want confort with just under a 2 inch drop then Tein S-techs is the way to go.


(That picture is of my car with Tein S-Techs and just regular KYB GR2 and its a nice drop and still rides good?
