I suggest going with Koni FSDs and Eibach Prokits or H&R sports. This will drop the car moderately while retaining the ride quality that you are looking for.

The answer is simple, you get what you pay for when it comes to vehicle suspension. As such a crucial component of your vehicle, suspension is definitely something you do not want to cheap out on. KW is known for their reinforced and durable suspension components. KW's coilovers have been carefully crafted and designed by studying the flaws of competitors and improving on them. In addition KW coilovers can go lower than just about any other brand and allow you to set your car to a "slammed look", "sporty look", or anywhere in between. In the unfortunate event that anything should happen to your coilovers, KW's warranty backs all their products from manufacturer's defect.

A coilover suspension basically gives you a matched lowering spring and shock absorber combination with the added benefit of adjustable ride height and spring rates through a moveable spring perch or perches. Coilovers are to your car's advantage by reducing unsprung mass, increasing suspension travel, and allowing the car to be corner balanced.

The Eibach pro kits seems like what I am looking for as well. I have the sport suspension currently but want a little more stiffness for cornering and turning hard. However, will the eibach prokits completely destroy my ride quality? I want it to be comfortable and dont want to sacrifice that, as it is a daily driver...
