Thumbs up need your advices BC coilover or Stance LX+

ok i got a 06 coupe with hotchkis sway bars, oem sport shocks with eibach pro kit springs.. the ride quality is total crap and bouncy. i am fed up and going to get coil overs but here are somethings i want

budget is around $1k-1200

-not a bouncy ride
-suddle 1-2inch drop
-comfortable ride ( i live in philly and go to nyc alot so the roads are horrible)
-quality build
-good handling
-damper control settings

i did alot of research but can't find a good answer (YES I SEARCHED SO DON'T TELL ME TO SEARCH)

I know you said LX+ I have the GR+ and they ride great so far. If the GR is any indicator Im pretty sure the LX would be good too.

I just installed the Stance GR+ on my G coupe. Ride is smooth and nice but once you hit a bump, you will feel it

i have LX+ there great but wereint stiff enough for my setup so i had to get poly stoppers to put in the suspension to really stiff it up.

Really depends what your going for. If you really want to be slammed stance is the way to go , if you see any of my pics im half way on the coils you can easily lay the frame down.

I really dont know anything about bc's so cant comment on them

G35 sedan w/ too much money in mods
If you want daily driving to be great with a good amount of drop available try the Tanabe Pro 5 coils. They're right at $1200 and ride great!!

I've had mine for about 8 months and have not one complaint about them. BCs are going to ride too rough for your taste IMO.
