Default wtf should i do?

I am lookin into lowering my car (95 sedan) and was wondering what suspension set up i should rock. I don't want my car extremely low, probably like 1.5-1.75 all round but i want a good ride as well. I was thinking teins becuase i have heard so many great things about then but at the same time the skunk2 coils because the adjustablity seems to be nessesary. I would get AGX or Koni yellows to pair with them. What do you think? Or should i say **** it and get the Tein Basic coilover set for $700

I have s-tech's and KYB AGX shocks, the springs arent very stiff, but they are good enough unless you are doing a lot of auto-x or road racing, but if it is just a street driven car, it will be fine.

I realy like my setup for just over $500

look man save your money and go with a coil-over system because you never know what you might be doing in the future and you will want that adjustability somewhere down the road and its a waste of money to buy springs but not stick with them so save your money and get coil-overs

I've got a set of eibach pro-kits. They aren't bad, but as you do more suspension work, they aren't stiff enough for spirited driving, but they are great for daily driving. I'm replacing mine with h&r sports. From what I've been reading, the h&r sports are nearly as stiff as your basic rate ground controls.

i think i'm going to say F It and just save 700 and get the tein basics just because i need the adjustability and all that nice stuff and they seem to be worth the money. And i don't do lots of auto-x so i'll be fine with a nice ride that they will put out. Thanks for all the input guys.....
