I love the lowered stance and the aggressive offsets but where I live the roads are the worst around here so I needed something with out a crazy drop and be very street-able because I really do not want to hate driving it because it is too rough and with the Koni adjustable Sports you can fine tune your ride to what you like, but the combination of the Steeda parts make the car feel ligher and turn in much better.

Steeda Ultralite Springs (1.5in drop)
Steeda HD Mounts
Koni Sport shocks/struts
SVE Billet Poly Control Arms
BMR poly Panhard bar
(all around $1300 installed myself)

Lowered but before new wheels:

Lowered and new wheels:

Fays 2 Watts link, LCAs, and Koni Yellows with Steeda Ultra/Sport springs. Done!

 

[13DIB5.0]

hands down my vote will go to airlift air ride, cant go wrong with the adjustment and ride

 

[kingnut]

Bc coilovers have been awesome for me.

You could almost get a Griggs Super Street Package for that much. At the Very Least Lower Control Arms w brackets, Panhard Rod, Torque Arm and Koil Overs. Would be roughly 3500 range and that would be a very good setup. I would speak with Van at Revan Racing and see what he can put together for you.

Why not use the steeda competition springs instead of the sports? I'm debating between the sports and competition springs with adj. struts and shocks.

Steeda comps are a progressive spring. Linear is better.

Hands down, a legit monotube shock design will outperform a twin tube design(koni's, OEM, tokico's, etc...) in both ride quality and handling.

There could be more, but at a glance these are your main contenders.

Not sure how the bilsteins are regarded(and if they are setup well for street springs or not), but the AST's are very highly regarded and you can typically get away with higher spring rates and more aggressive dampening with similar or better ride characteristics with a mono over a twin.

Very interesting
I do not see the drop levels on the coil over springs though

How do they stack up against KW line?

 

[az20115.0]

So no one other than Steeda and Eibach has test results?

 

[Swine]

Call vorshlag and ask them their opinion.

Legit racers who really know what a good handling/well dampened car feels like, and they have all the experience in the world with multiple setups.

I have:

KW Variant 2/Roush Trak Pak Coilovers
Adjustable Panhard

Plan to add UCA, LCAs and relo brackets.

Car as is handles wonderfully. It's very well planted and the coils are adjustable so you can soften/stiffen the ride, mines 9/10 stiff since its not a daily.

 

[kcsvt94l]

If you want low.... H&R super sports and tokicos have been badass for me! It's amazing what the adjustability can do.

How do they ride???

I had Eibach Sportlines on my 06, and they were not very good..
My 11 5.0 with Roush 1" lowering springs ride 100x better.. Enormous difference

They are just no where near low enough for me

I was gonna buy the roush coilover setup but they stopped selling it. I must say im very happy with the BC's though. I do wish the front had a little more height adjustability. But as far as ride comfort and having no added NVH...these things are amazing.
