Ok i want my car to sit about 1" lower and i was wondering what your guys' opinion on lowering springs vs. a full coilover kit. I mean obviously a coilover kit is the way to go in an ideal world, but my wallet likes the lowering spring idea. HOWEVER i know that sometimes you can get weird compression and rebound rates with stock shocks and lowering springs, as well as excessive wear to the stock shocks. for those of you who have any knowledge, or have been running the lowering springs + stock shock setup, let me know what you think so far. (yes i have searched this but cannot find any diffinative answeres)

Also, to prevent questions, NO this car is not my DD and YES it will see a track day here and there.

any input is appreciated. THANKS!
