What is the best combo Lowering springs/shocks for street driving
I really want to lower my Em1. i know these cars are so hard to find stock but i really want to do it....
what do you guys think of a good combo that would lower the car decent and still make it a comfertable daily driver? do i need to uprgade anything else?

Did you read the sticky at the top of the forum before creating this thread?
Read it first and come back to us.
Also:
"lower the car decent and still make it a comfertable daily driver" is really vague. This means vastly different things to many people. If we speculate for you, you won't be happy.

It's all good. Like I said, help us help you by doing a little reading and we'll be happy to make suggestions for you.
If going absolutely cheapest is a must, and you don't mind having some fender/tire gap, there are two options in my mind:
KYB AGX + Tein S. Tech (you could also use the koni orange)
would probably run you $500-600
OR
Progress Coilover 350/350 or 350/250 @ $600

Function and Form are "alright."
Some people love them, some hate them. Some people have had them for years, others they blow in a few months. Some people say they're amazing because they ride dumped, and don't have the spine with which to tell that 3 of the shocks are blown, they're just so used to a crappy ride they wouldn't know what a blown shock feels like.
It's kind of a crap shoot as far as quality. I've seen enough threads on forums of people receiving leaky shocks, blown shocks, shocks blowing after a month, etc.
It's cheap shock marketed for cheap people. It's really what anyone who has ever set foot in a marketing or economics class should understand.
Again, did you read the thread I spent hours writing to avoid questions like these?
This used to happen every day non-stop on this forum for YEARS and I made that thread to quell the questions or at least answer questions in the many pages in the thread. We have no dead horse to beat anymore it is so decimated.
