Welcome.

You have a lot of options but you will never be able to keep ride comfort when you mess with suspension and tires. Seeing as you want a small drop i would just do an eibach pro kit ($150-$200) then you need to pay for an allignment. But like i said earlier you won't maintain the same OEM ride comfort with drop kits.

Eibachs would be the only way to do. I was in the same position as you since I drive my car a lot. I currently have Eibachs with 18 inch rims and the ride is great. A bit stiffer than stock but still very comfortable. Not to mention the improved handling as well

I would recommend D2 racing coilovers. Just put them in my Altima coupe and can only slightly tell any difference in ride comfort.

I have the Eibach Pro-Kit, and I am very pleased with it. The ride is firm, but it is not harsh. I drive about 350 miles a week to and from work and I have had no problem. I was concerned that the springs would be stiff and jarring. I found the ride is, firm, but smooth. The handling is much improved. The Eibach springs are probably the best mod I have done to my car.

DAAN.

gonna be going with eibachs as well. Planning on doing new wheels and rims but my budget only allows 1 thing at a time so doing springs first. Curious if all those that did springs kept stock shocks/struts. For those that have stock what kind of miles do you have on new springs with original shocks/struts. My car has 75k miles, bought it at 63k, and have no idea if the shocks/struts are original and still in good condition. would it be recommended to replace the shocks/struts along with the new springs? I put a lot of miles on my car a week so it sees its share of bumps quite often.
