Any input?

3...2...1...off to the suspension subforum...

Lowering it that much will affect your ride quality, but how much depends on how you lower it. With Tein SS, you can adjust the damper in addition to the height, so you could offset a little of the lowering with more cush in the shock. To what degree, I don't know, but I would imagine with the number of setting they have that you could probably get pretty close to stock (definitely not exactly like stock). The big improvement will be in handling and looks. Whatever method you use, go for it as stock handling sucks.

You need the A-Spec suspension. It lowers the car about 1/2 inch. It firms up the ride without sacrificing overall ride quality. There are multiple threads on this, so a search should help you some.

Moved to the suspension subforum so you can get more answers.

If you're only lowering about 1/2 an inch, then go with the factory A-spec suspension. Tightens the handling without sacrificing ride quality. A couple of dealers sell it online at ebay. Most dealers will not sell the suspension alone.

Seems I misread your post before...somehow I got 1.5", not 0.5"...I agree with the others, get the ASPEC. Mine has settled around 0.75" or so...ride and handling are awesome!

also if you get the Aspec suspension you won't need to get the camber kits to fix your camber.

Prolly not necessary but a good Mod to have none the less.
