Are Koni Shocks and Eibach springs still the best combo for smooth ride with a bit lowering ? I don't want to go coil-overs because I don't track the car.

I'm looking for daily driving suspsenions thats just bit lower. My OEM shocks are out, so I might as well buy an after market set.

Are they other after markt shocks and springs combo thats good. I dont' want adjustable coil-types because they will be too stiff for what I want.

 

Coil Overs intrinsicly have nothing to do with stiffness in ride quality. If your shop specs the right spring rate and damper for your usage you will probably end up riding better than stock and handling better too. The issue comes with the one size fits all kits where spring rate choices are limited or nonexistent.

As a non commercial (for S2000 purposes) example, we just changed out a BMW guy this weekend from a KW V3 "kit" that rode like crap AND was terrible in handling too to a specially designed and sprung proprietary KONI S/A /Vogtland Spring combo from TCK. The differences were immediate and the auto went from a bouncy POS that handled like crap to a smooth ride that tore up track and skid pad alike.

If you choose to go the seperate damper and lowering spring route, that is cool just please don't mistake coil overs as by necessity being bad ride quality. They can in reality be the ultimate in a personalized combination of ride and track suspension. Of course, if you spec a strictly smooth track firm set-up with aero, ride quality goes out the door.
