I just would like maybe 1-1.5 MAX drop (probably 1" or so due to all the bumps in my area)


Main Goals:

Close a bit of the wheel gap
really really comfrontable ride.
Under $1500





Would coilovers be the best option, if so which one?





Thanks!
If you must go with more than a 1 inch drop, I recommend coilovers. ST, Bilstein PSS B14, KW V1, and then some rear lower control arms to dial in the alignment are good options.

If you're happy with an inch or slightly less and $1500 is your budget then you could also go with Koni yellow adjustable or Bilstein B6 shocks with a good quality spring (such as our RCE Yellow springs).

All of the above are good options. Personally I wouldn't use ST coilovers due to the finish...they'd get eaten up by rust where I live. For me it would come down to Bilstein PSS or Bilstein HD + RCE Yellows. I'd be happy with Koni Yellow too, but slightly prefer Bilstein.
