Default Daily Suspension Setup

I am looking for a good suspension set up for the daily driver. I want to lower my car more for looks than any performance or handling aspect. So what would you recommend for a good, not bumpy ride that can be driven day in and day out. Im looking for about a 2 inch drop. Ive heard good things about KYB AGX adjustable shocks with mayb some Tein S Tech Sprigns or Neuspeed Race Springs...any suggestions or opinion?

you get what you pay for...so if you get crappy APC coilover you'll get a crappy ride...id say skunk2 coilovers and kyb agx never heard anything but good things about them....you can also get basic lowering springs that arent adjustable...i have tenzoR lowering springs and they lowered it about 1.5" and the ride is like luxory compared to my friend's coilovers

Eibach sportline or Tein S-tech springs for a comfy ride with about a 2" lowering. Koni yellow shocks if you can afford them. Kyb's will work (not sure for how long) but the warranty is void if lowering vehicle more then 1.5" so its your gamble.

Have fun.

I have the KYB AGX + Tein S. Tech setup and I like the ride very much. It's almost 2 inches at 1.8 for front and back. Very nice drop and awesome ride quality!

Im not sure If i am getting them anymore. Although no one has told me they are a shitty brand most people have said theyd rather go with a more reliable product from tein or ground control. However I am still looking into them....anyone who reads this post and has information about Hayame coilovers please let me know
