a nice full coilover setup should ride smoothly and then he can adjust it lower for the summer and higher in the winter. i have my car slammed on hr race springs with kyb agx shocks and it handles like a dream but a very rough ride. i like the way it looks but i’ll probably ditch the race springs for some sports for a smoother ride. ---

Tein Offers alot for that car. I would stick with the Tein brand name, they are well known and very reliable and performance wise theyre great, also very affordable, i have the basics but if you get the next level up the softness and hardness of the ride is adjustable ---
