here's the funny thing, if you lower your car, you will feel that the ride is a little stiffer than normal.

Not in a bad way...

But if you just want it for the look don't get it. Most of our aftermarket suspension parts are designed for performance so they are slightly rougher than stock suspensions (not only will it make the ride rough but you're car might squeak like mine

) not to mention costly. Also let me tell you if you want that "slammed" look it is not that cheap(you have only 2 choices under $1000) and from what I've heard it is a nighmare to drive slammed (the car bounces constantly). And even then your wheels will be barely if even tucked at all.

Wow bro. I hope you still have your sales receipt. Get some sprints and KYB AGX's! They are adjustable and the sprints ride close to stock! (that is only if you want a ride like stock)

H&Rs and B&Gs are supposed to be stock-like ride... H&Rs lowering the car around 1.4-1.5" and B&Gs like 1.6.....

BUT, "190hpKilla" has Sprint springs with KYB AGX struts, they are SUPPOSED to be harsh as people say... however, I rode in his car and they feel like stock, i honestly could not tell a difference. And his adjustable struts were not even on the softest setting...

More like 1.4" front and 1.3" rear for H&Rs.
Get H&R/AGX combo, should be a nice adjustable setup.

i had my agx on 2 when installed- felt like stock. and then i just bumped up to 3, GREAT handling but maaan i can feel EVERY bump and inconsistency in the road. the front of the car kinda feels like the road keeps moving up and down. its strange.

get the maxspeed springs. lower drop than h&r (1.7) and ride smoother. plus they very cheap. got mine for 85$. just remember that with springs must come shocks/

Honestly, its a bad combo. The Eibachs really dont lower your car that much (we have hugh wheel wells and the lower the better!) and the tokico blues i have heard that they have been going bad after a few thousand miles. AGAIN, SEARCH the ORG.! THIS TOPIC COMES UP MONTHLY as it did when i was looking for shock/stuts and springs. I would really suggest getting sprint and KYB's. sprint springs are agressive looking (lower the front slightly more than the rear)
