Default Bumpy Ride

I want to lower my car but I don't want to spend thousands....I just want to lower it a little to get a better looking stance. Its a daily driver but I never abuse the car. I know that I'm suppose to get lowering springs but what else would you guys say I get so I don't have a bumpy ride but a more comfy one. Thanks

properly matched springs and shocks combo will provide a good clean ride that isnt too harsh. do a search on eibach springs as they are a mild drop, provide better handling and are very comfortable springs. Buy a good set of quality shocks like koni or KYB and you wont regret it.

Cut a few coils off. Stock ride, just lower. Given the shock will bottom out a little quicker, but that hasnt be a huge problem so far.

second on the cs, is not springs is the best way, eibach will do the job just like u said, and if u don't want any gap in between, espiler springs is u choice, but the ride won't be that great.
