Understand, but one thing we may have missed w/this thread is his rear sway bar. The 8K/8K set-up would work better if he has the Whiteline 24mm bar. If he's on the stock bar, then this spring spec would be very pushy / understeer prone

My comment was general in its scope, in hopes of guiding those who contemplate a change in suspension with better handling in mind. 8K/8K ain't it. As for the RSB, one has to be cornering fast enough, and the OP's aim is to lower the car.

im going with new coilover FA 500 suspension 1: because my stocks are shot and 2: because I want the lowered look, but I don't want to sacrifice handling or comfort, that's what im looking for. I am running the stock sway bars. The car is completely stock and I have no intentions of doing anymore to the suspension. Eventually the motor will make more power but it will still be my daily for street use only. just to mess around on the highway and with other cars that think they are fast.

Nice choice. I'd advise picking a reasonable during rate so you can still enjoy the ride. If you get serious later, it's really easy to swap springs.
