If your looking to slam full body coilover like function and form or D2 is what your looking for. As far as being slammed and not having a stiff ride.... pick one.

Stock = Sweet Smooth Ride.
Slam = Hell of a Stiffy cant have Both worlds at the Same Time.

At least with coilovers you can choose between.

How could you be slammed and not stiff? The whole underside of your car would be bouncing off of the pavement all day

You can be low and still have a smooth ride, but not slammed. Any time you drop 3+ inches you're going to have a rough ride. How low do you want to be? Check out the slammed thread in the photograph gallery. No matter what setup you go with prepare for you ride quality to be horrible compared to stock. If you want an easily adjustable ride go with Function Form Type 2, Ksports or the Megan full coilovers. Even then I would keep em cranked up if you're slamming it or you're asking for trouble...the lower I go the more I have to stiffen my preloads. This is me on Function Form type 1 and a few people wouldn't consider this slammed. Imagine if the ride was soft enough to allow a couple inches of suspension travel like even some spring/strut combos do!
