I would like to lower my car some, but not go overboard. I am considering purchasing nuespeed sport springs and KYB shocks. Buying both would cost me around $420 which I think is a pretty good deal.

Are these springs/shocks a good combination for my car? I'm going to be buying some 16" rims also, would the drop look ok with the new rims?

Any opinions are appreciated.

The best combo is of course going to be Neuspeed sports and Koni yellows, however if you want to go cheaper I was told that Bilstein HDs would probably be next best. They aren't adjustable but they are every bit as good as Konis quality wise. I am currently running the Bilstein with Neuspeed Sports and while the ride is a little rough, it is definently bearable and handling is much improved.

 

You say your ride is a little rough....What exactly do you mean by that? Does that mean that the car shakes and rattles more when driving over bumps? And if you were to make the ride smoother and still keep the dropped look, what would you go with?

I have a friend with this combo and imo it rides great. No bounciness, nice firm ride. I am planning on putting this combination on my car is well, just waiting for the rear shocks to arrive. BTW I got my springs/shocks from jcwhitney.com for $385 shipped. Only downside is the shocks are on backorder till the end of the month.
