Default Lowering!

Just want to get a concensus of how to go about lowering my car and how much. I currently have a box of Tein S-tech springs in front of me but I don't think it will be "enough". Also want to see how much is too much for Calgary road conditions.

Are you lowered? If so, how many inches? and how are you lowered?(springs, coilovers)

1 finger gap all-around here, lowered on Tien Flex w/edfc. Seems like a perfect height. Just avoid speedbumps.

I think the S-techs are fine with the stock shocks for while. If you want to run it long term then get some aftermarket shocks as well.

Personally, I'd go with a coil-over setup. The Bilstein coilovers or the Zeal Function B6s seems to be best if you want a nice ride.

S-tech is only about 1" all around. I wouldn't mind coilovers but a decent set will be over my budget.
