i have the same dilemma too. really want a lower rider height and better handling but i only have $1000 or so to spent on suspension part. I mean i could go up to $1500 but that my max. at this price i'm not sure if any of the coil over offering is good. so many mix reviews….

In the same situation but I regularly drive down pot hole nation(east york, toronto) so not sure if it would be wise to lower my car

That's where I live and it's pretty terrible. If you want you can come drive my car to see what it's going to be like.

Yeah still on sportlines, all year round lol.

No problems but I don't drive to work. I'm on stock rims with winters right now, 18's in the summer.
