thinkin about changing my Setup

I am currently on S-Techs and GR2's. Im getting tired of the horrible ride, but i like the drop amount.
Wat r my opitons for softer ride but keeping the same drop maybe +/- .2 .
I dunno if i want to go with coilovers, i would assume they r stiffer.

im looking at Ksport Springs, any inputs????

I deff want to get diff shocks either tockicos adjustables or kyb agx.

I'm on the same setup Max and might be looking to change mines eventually as well. GR2's for the most part suck to begin with. lol

Illuminas are good as struts but not sure how they would hold up with a drastic drop close to 2". As far as springs, you could either go with ksports, progress or sprint. S-techs aren't that bad but it's just GR2's in the tri-state area blow chunks for real.

I'm leaning towards progress (lose about 3 inches front & rear) or sprint (since they are 2" all around) as I'm not going coilover until next spring.

But if anyone can chime in on the ride if they have any of those, then that would be appreciated as well.

my best firned has (zshopa) his on stech and illuminas and his ride sucks ***** to. His feels stiffer than mine and he rides on sofest setting now. So i deff think it is is teh Stech killing me. And yes it sucks being on stechs in the tri state area.

I'm pretty happy with the Koni Yellows and Eibach combination. I've got the Konis set to the lowest setting. The S-techs with Konis felt good but I had to crack the Konis to maximum setting to get that.

I'll have to say that the Konis make a big difference in the ride if you've already felt the S-techs.

tein basic coilovers are said to be a smooth ride and go low. somewhat affordable too.
