OEM lip, or lip of your choice. The stock suspension is great, but the looks can use a little work.

I would get the suspension, the S will feel so much better on the turns. Yes stock is good but konis would make it alot less tail happy by lossening the rears and tightening the front, u could have incredible handling i plan on running konis with eibach springs, i always favored the spring shock setup to coilovers idk y, but leave the looks to the show cars u pass on the turns. Shocks all the way man.

def. OEM lip...looks SO much better
Werd.

I can not imagine not having the OEM lip since I purchased one....and in my opinion, this is a car you go coilovers or nothing at all.

Most people over rate coilovers and they just know the name, id love to pay 2000 less for shocks and springs when the only difference is u cant change the ride height with shocks and springs once there on there, but thats the only difference. Shocks can be tightened or lossen to help with comfort (and the koni's are no brainers to adjust) but i know i wouldnt care enough to change my ride height, so if u can get over the fact that people will look down on u if u dont have COILOVERS OMG then u have the same performance as them and a little extra cash in the pockets

Go with the Koni shocks. While you're at it, I highly suggest you just go ahead and get springs. It's an extra $150 now (if you shop around this site for Espelirs...) but it's going to save you the cost of two install jobs, two alignments, ect. Go PM Steve@Evolution... he'll hook you up with a great deal on the Koni/Espelir combo

Don't bother with the lip. Once you start to mod your suspension, you're going to scrape the front of the car once in a while anyway. No sense in ruining an expensive body piece.
