Default What would be the best combo for me?

I want to lower my GS but i dont want a stiff ride. I had H&R coil overs on my last car and they rode nice & stiff. but thats not what im looking for. i want it droped... but i want it to ride like stock suspension.
i dont care about being able to take corners fast.... i just want my car droped on 20's w/ a smooth ride....


any suggestions?

some JDM springs from japan+ L-tuned shocks would do the trick

With my H&R coilovers and 20's (back in the day), the ride was very good. The Tein CS should ride about the same...maybe a tad bit softer...

I would still do coilovers over springs for the height adjustability. What if you want to tuck your rear wheel? Or what if you want to have it with a "zero" gap...or a 1/4" gap...with springs, you have no real control (short of cutting the springs but that's a one-way ticket...)

I'll have my a'pex ws coilovers installed later this next week. They are supposed to be very comfy. I will post a review as soon as I get them. I don't have 20 but 19 with fat setup so that will make the ride comfortable to
