which spring to lower
Alright guys, I know everyone has their own opinion, and I just want to know from the masses what people are using/have used,etc. I'm finally considering lowering my ride but don't want to inherit a rough/poor ride due to lowering. I've gotten recommendations for EIBACH, TANABE, TOKICO, and COBB. All I'm looking for is a 1 inch drop on all four corners without sacrificing drive comfort. I'm even considering going with NISMO S-Tune suspension that I'm told will give me a slightly lower stance. Go ahead, give me your recommendations so I can be confused some more! ! ! !
Thanks ahead of time for all input and feedback.

Dude I went with a complete tein coilover conversion and it rides a little stiff, but can't complain not my daily driver. Eibach is pretty good as long as you don't get the sportline kit cause the shocks tend to wear faster (what I've been told). I don't see the difference though since the sportline drops 1" and the prokit drops1.2". Hopefully that helps. G/L

You might be looking at less than 1". Tein's lowers the car front: 0.7 inch
& rear: 0.6 inch. And Tanabe is like 1.2 & 1.0 lowering stance.
Also after u go pass the 1.0" drop u will need a camber kit.

I like the dropped look but since this is my daily driver, I chose to do a mild drop with the Hotchkis lowering springs, 15mm front, 19mm rear. Installed this past weekend, and just waiting a day or two for it to settle before I get it aligned. I'm in hopes that I won't need a camber kit and that the alignment can be done with the stock hardware.
