I think I'm going to do 18 by 8 wheels and just deal with the stock ride height. I've never put aftermarket suspension on a car so I don't want to mess it up. If anyone comes across a relatively easy way to lower the car without compromising the handling performance, please share.

It's much easier to deal with things if you stick with a medium/milder drop.

Hi Andrew,

OK then, for a 1" drop, given Moto-P's input at the beginning of this thread, what do you recommend would be the the best top 2-3 coilovers , and top 2-3 aftermarket springs / strut combos (typically not tuned for each other, so usually will be different manufacture spring / strut) to go with ?

Keeping in mind trying to retain OEM car driving dynamics as best as possible, with a mild 1" drop. Any input would be great
