All coils aren't harsh, it depends on what spring rate you get. Eibachs are nice but might not drop as much as you want, and I would recommend getting some aftermarket struts because your new springs will be underdamped with the stock struts and they will wear out faster.. I'd go with some luxury street (not street/race) coilovers if you want a nice ride. You don't have to compromise your nice ride quality if you don't want to.

Please don't go uber cheap on your suspension parts. Save up another pay period for some nice pieces.


Either get a good spring/shock combo or get a decent set of coil-overs.

dont go cheap on suspension dude. you dont want your car bouncin all over the road or have anything else happen. I have tein s. tech and they are decent. i like them, and they give the car a nice stance IMO. though im runnin stock shocks im well aware that they will wear faster now. I'll fix that as soon as I get the money, but the S.techs are nice and I think I got them for like... $250

Install them at the same time, you'll do fine.
