OEM factory springs. All aftermarket springs lower the car to various degrees, because if they don't, no one will buy them.

A suspension system with Koni Sport shocks and Eibach Springs would let you achieve a close to stock height. That's because the Koni's have an adjustable spring seat position.

Looking at Tokiko Blues too...

but I understand that it is the springs that determine ride height. In other words, the Tokico Blues will have OEM ride with OEM springs.

I am contemplating Tein HTech springs (-1.5" Front and -1" Rear) with Tokiko Blues.

I would be interested in such a kit also. Seems to me that matching springs and dampers should be a good thing...but is such a kit available from Tokico?

This is exactly what I'm talking about!! Not much of a drop and retain the OEM ride quality.

I would do bilstien and H&R OE. Subtle drop and most likely better ride than stock
