OK, quickly...what setup would YOU go with?
Alright, I'm ready for a new suspension. Now listen to me very carefully - I want the softest possible setup, THAT WILL STILL PERFORM very well on the street in terms of handling etc. What do u suggest and why?

The setup that i'm going to be getting shortly is going to have Tein S-tech springs (the nicest, best riding, most even looking drop of all, see threads about it) and either Illuminas all around or Konis in the front w/Illuminas in the rear. That's what i'd reccomend. AGXes are good, but not for where you live and what comfort level you're talking about. BTW, if you want max comfort but still want good handling and a decent drop, H&Rs are probably your best bet.

(1) i have to drive my sister around a fair amount, as well as my GF, and my sister is extremely carsick prone and **** about bumpy rides. My GF likes cars, but i'm self conscious about her comfort.
(2) Based on the way that certain cars are setup (ones that I like), the eibach/AGX combo would be wickedly hard. Why do i say that? Most people go lighter on their struts with the Eibachs. If you look at the way that all BMWs (especially M-cars) and Porsche suspensions are tuned, their springs aren't particularly beefy. Well, they're not beefy relative to the struts. The cars handle the way they do because they have a much heavier bias toward strut stiffness. Nothing's wrong with stiff springs. It's just that in order for the car to behave similar to those cars, i'd have to kick up the shocks all the way. Also, the Lb rating of the S-techs are perfect, especially if you're like me and go with harder strut valving. If you're going with HPs, one might find them weak. The only issue one might have with them is the low drop, however, i don't hear many people having rubbing issues.

I want my car to be dropped at most 1.5'' and at least 1.0''.

Ummm how will the car be lowered any with STOCK springs??

You definetly want Illuminas. springs on the other hand....that's tough, def. not eibach since they're stiff, but H&R, Tokico, or Progress will do you fine. Have you been here: http://maxmods.dyndns.org/?MaximaSprings
