if you want to maintain ride quality, go with Teins.

if you're looking for something close to stock ride feel... none of those would probably work for you.

its pretty stupid to look for a nice low drop with a "performance" oriented adjustable coilover suspension and keep stock ride feel... lol

The TEIN Street Basis hands down is the best street coilover on the market. Great quality, great price, significant amount of ride height adjustment.

Im on Tein SS coilovers as well and have them all the way down. not the cheapest ones out there but im very happy with the ride quality as well.

From what Ive read for ride quality go Teins. For slammin go Form & Function. There was someone who had the Ksports and was happy with ride quality (I think floored4door)

A lot have ff coil overs including my self. They will offer the lowest height but may not ride that great.

Little rough for me but oh well I liked the price and the low settings.
