Default 6th gen advice needed.

Hi, I have a 6th gen coup I4, I just bought 19's (they have not arrived yet) and i'm trying to figure out how to drop it now. right now I have a new set of H&R race springs, but I also have a set of GC coilovers on the way. I guess my question is, w/19's, 225 tires, which way should I go to get good performance & yet keep a somewhat soft ride. I still need shocks but koni yellows seem to be the way to go so factor that in as well. Any advice is greatly appriciated, Thanks.

I'd just say it depends on if you want adjustability. If you like the race drop, and have no need to raise or lower the vehicle, the H&R race would be the ones. If you need adjustability, go for the GC's. With either one, Koni Yellows would be a great choice. Go for the SP3 Koni shocks. I have them mated to H&R sports, they are great. In fact if you want a smooth ride, I'd consider sport springs over race, but if it's not low enough for ya, go with the race.

Yea I guess i'm worried that w/19's if I put the race kit on and it rubs, then i'm stuck, but w/the GC I could just raise it a bit.

Thanks 4 the help

Go with the GC if you can afford to...
