thats a pretty general question, it all depends on what you want, do you want a total slam or a mildly low stance. what kind of driving do you do, and how bad are your roads. and also do you want to sacrifice the ride you get from your stock suspension. because are cars ride great. just a few things to consider before u make a big decision.

What is the best choice if you don't want a stiff ride, but want that pimp drop the Sportlines give you (approx. 1.5-2 inches)?

You can get good coils for about 600. You can get Tein springs for 140 shipped, and kyb agx's for 289 shipped. 429 total. So its up to how much you want to spend.

I've been looking at teins, but can't find tein springs for a v6, anyone have any ideas about teins for v6's, I don't wan to overcompress like the sportlines do.
