Hi all. I currently have H&R Super Sports on stock shocks. My goal is to have my car in the same height range as these springs (I like a pretty low ride) but with slightly more comfort. I was wondering if a set of Koni yellows or Bilstein B8's paired with the Super Sports would noticeably improve ride comfort?
The other option I'm looking at is Fortune Auto 500 with Swift springs or a different good quality coilover setup for less than $2,000. Coilovers must drop the car at least 1.5" all around as I'm not looking to lift the car all that much more than where it is now (1.8" front & 1.3" rear).
Quick background on my use of the ST: Currently daily drive the car in New England (see treated roads about 5 months a year for Winter). Wondering how coilovers would hold up through some winters? I'll be keeping the car at the same height year round so not sure if I should care if the collars get seized up after some time? Any other wear from winters that should be a concern with getting coilovers? Currently drive year round on 205/40/17 setup. Would dropping down to a 16" wheel with a 45 profile tire make more of a comfort difference than anything I've listed above? Only problem here is the 16" wheel market for these cars is god awful (8" is too wide for my setup).
Any insight/suggestions is greatly appreciated!
