If you have the money just get coils . IMO the stock s suspension isn't what I thought it was gonna be.
It doesn't feel planted or connected to the road .As far as picking the brand of coil it's really up to you just do some research and go with what intrigues you. I went with BC Coils and so far I feel a great improvement over stock handling.

LOL. I wouldn't trust anything anyone says on this board.
i've spent too much time writing long posts in the past so let me just say it is impossible to lower your car and maintain stock ride qualities because you just don't have enough bump travel.
Also, please please please don't listen to everybody here and think that japanese/taiwanese/chinese/korean shocks are decent.

See, many people, especially young people, look to others for advice in areas where they have little personal experience.
So they come to forums like this, and come with the faulty assumption that people who speak with the most confidence are the people who are the most correct. And also that the average expertise on the board is high and if several people say something it is likely true.
I am saying this is wrong, especially when it comes to vehicle dynamics. I am trying to tell the OP to not trust what anyone, including myself, has to say, and do some more research on the topic to get real answers. I am saying the favorite shocks on this forum are BC racing (bor-chuann) and tokico, both which have very poor reputation at the track.

If you want the cheapest way to lower your car while still keeping a relatively comfortable ride you might want to look into Swift lowering springs. The drop is pretty mild but the spring rates are more inline w/ oem ride vs. the typical harsher lowering spring. Keep in mind using oem dampers w/ lowering springs will shorten their life, and like Totopo mentioned, no way to have your oem ride and be lowered, all you can hope for is the best compromise.
I've got about 15kmiles on my "budget" Megan coilovers and couldn't be happier w/ them, low priced suspension parts always take a beating on these forums, but they're doing what I've asked of them, giving me a controlled ride at the exact height I want. It took a few setting changes to find the sweet spot, but I'm about 1/3rd up the firmness scale and IMO it's perfect for a daily driver, and SO much better than my lowering springs.
