Bags or coils?
I'm hoping the people that will comment have had experience with both. So I'm a huge fan of slammed society fatlace and the such but I'm driving an frs... I want that look but at the same time I'd like to enjoy driving the beast that I own... How it can be driven. I've done a good amount of reading the "unbiased" articles where "the same car and same driver took to the track with both suspensions" but I'm a little uneasy about fuckin with the frs suspension so drastically. That's it's bread and butter. Any advice?

If you care about slammed society and don't mind about spending money, why not? Not saying it's bad, but it sounds like you prefer that way, but hesitating it since you're driving FRS..

for the type of person who would ask this question, being slammed and handling well are mutually exclusive. personally, i would just deal with a reasonable ride height because i believe a fast car is more fun to live with than a low car. there are also zero downsides as far as livability goes

Bag it, you don't have to drive it scraping unless you want to. If you static drop it so low that you can't drive through a parking lot, eventually you'll just wish you bagged it. If you want to track the car competitively go with coils.
