I don’t want to cheap out with my suspension but i’ve read hella **** about certain springs completely trashing your suspension, I don’t mind spending the money on coils just can’t right now. I do want to go top quality on the car, Looking to just have it sit right and not lose how the car drives stock completely. Also need suggestions on how much i should drop it and any camber i should do. Also any other suggestions on changing the look of the car lmk! I want an aggressive look!
Dont buy junk coliovers, they'll just fail early and be crap all the way to failure.
Goal is really to just lower the car and lose as least function as possible if it’s coils it’s fine but is it possible to get springs and have similar outcome?
Appreciate the reply my man I’m definitely going to look into those I see they’re only about 1000 bucks, how’s the quality?
theres little to no reviews on this specific coilover but the ones ive seen say that they handle well for being a budget coilover. they come 8kg/8kg out if the box. A guy by the name of razorlab on these forums rated them highly. he ran these before switching to Ohlins and had recommended them to me. Check out his thread build. really great stuff. Given the knowledge and experience he had using them on the street and tracking them id take his word for it.
if you just want the drop in height there's swift spec r srpings. but handling wont compare to coilovers.

I’ll definitely look into them again appreciate the reply!
Yeah, I think the advent of the cheap coilover obsoleted aftermarket shocks that work well with lowering springs. Personally, I think the car rides pretty horribly on lowering springs and the GSR shocks but I've seen people that seem perfectly happy with their setup. I ran the Swift Sport (not the GSR) spring kit and it felt like the shocks were out of travel. I also have to deal with Michigan roads so there's that. Maybe it would be fine in Cali.
