Thinking about lowering, what's the best spring/shock combo?
I want to lower my car. I've done some searches and it's confusing. So many choices. Right now I have 16", I will upgrade to 17" in the future. I don't want my car "slammed", but just want it to look good.
What's out there?
Any spring/shock kits?
Anyway to improve the ride while increasing the handling ability?
Price is a factor, so group buy anyone?
Thanks again guys

I think the Vogtland springs with Koni adjustables are an excelent choice.
Your car won't be slammed, but will ride/handle quite nicely.
No need for a group buy, Vogtland & Koni can be had for good pricing any day at several vendors.
My switch from Brabus to Vogtland

While there naturally isn't going to be "best" for everyone, you certainly have numerous options available. What works for you will depend on your tolerance for comfort, your tolerance for ride height, and your overall driving style.
H&R, Vogtland, Koni, and Bilstein are very reputable companies each with very good components. Feel free to email if you have specific questions.
