Default best suspension setup

What's the best basic suspension setup? Looking for something that isn't going to bounce me off the road, yet get rid of a little fenderwell gap.

what are you looking to do with your teg? road racing? autocross? backroad bombing? just cruising?

it really matters how you're gonna be driving your teg because of the different spring rates of different suspension setups.

also, about how much are you looking to spend?

this is my daily driver. I drive 40 miles a day on an interstate. I mostly want to eliminate the fenderwell gap, but also don't want to bounce all over. I was thinking either eibach's or tein springs. I also don't want to break the bank, but I don't want to get some POS coilovers either.

H&R Sports / Stock shocks

Rides like stock, just lower.

its a subtle drop, like 1.5". H&R's have a bad rep for sagging over time though.

your request is bit vague, even after your response. what is your budget?

Mine sagged more than advertised, but that's ok. Looks nice for $150

My H&R's didn't sag over time, they just initially settled lower than advertised. About a 2" front and 1.75" rear drop, versus advertised 1.75" front and 1.5" rear. I loved the springs. Great handling, good ride, perfect drop. I'd replace the shocks while you're at it....I went with KYB AGX.
