I am not the smartest with suspension. But if that is the Authentic Kenstyle body kit it is not cheap. I would maybe say a High quality air suspension? But I don't know. Good luck hope you find the answer.

1) Depends on how bad your car looks on stock suspension, post pics

2) If it's your daily driver and you're already scraping your authentic kit, I would definitely say no. If it's your weekend toy then go for it.

...Drop it with a mild drop like Tein H Techs but then get 20s to offset the lower with slightly larger wheels to fill in the gap

If you like to race or take corners fast = Airbags FTL!

If you get a good set of coilovers and set a decent height = best of both worlds.

I have Megan Coilovers and love them. Regardless of what anyone says, they work great fo an everday setup. My car is slammed right now(which I honestly thought I'd never do).
