Lowering. Does it ruin handling? I'm talking around 30mm

if you are lowered on a good suspension it should improve handling!

Short answer is.. If you use springs to lower then yes. The stock shocks are valved for a certain ride height to work at the max performance. However, if you aren't tracking the car extensively then you will probably never notice. The stock S suspension is supposed to be the best thing short of 1500 dollar + coil overs you can have.

If you are okay with a smaller drop, Koni yellows on second perch should be a 12-13mm drop (1/2 inch)

Yeah it was more for the look. But I do plan to track once or twice a year.
Maybe more
So, I don't wanna look for just springs, I need to look at full shocks. That = £££££££
Maybe il just leave it be.
I'm fed up with this guy at work saying it looks like a 4x4

Ha I think some quality springs help the car handle while also lowering the car. I have espelir springs on mine right now and the car seems to be more balanced, but I do have coilovers coming in the mail lol

coilovers are the way to go if you want to do it right and have flexibility with ride height and stiffness.

No S should look like a 4x4.

I'm on Neuspeed springs, and have been for over 2 years or more now. I DD mine, and i still love the handling. Coilovers will come one day, but the stock shocks are great and take it well..

Ok so I could stretch for some springs. Who's are the best?

im running swift sports which are awesome quality springs and drop the ride height about 30-40mm and a lot of race teams in japan use Swift coils.

I ran Eibach's on mine for a few years, excellent ride quality and lowers the car "enough". Like others, I am now running coilovers.

There's nothing wrong with using lowering springs, just know you'll eventually want coils, it depends if you want to pay now, or pay later.
