i have basics now and they are very comfy. If i get more into the performance side, then i would likely change them out for something with dampening adjustment.

Am i the only one who interpreted drop dimensions to be how low to drop the car, not what brand components to buy?

its a lot harder to get a specific numbered inch/finger gap drop rather then picking out a brand/model of spring.

you'd have to get coils to do custom drop dimensions.

Im not currently dropped but my brothers TL is dropped on Eibach springs with OEM type-s shocks. Its a modest drop and the ride isnt bad at all. I know this will wear the shocks pretty quickly but its good for now.
