the ride height is perfect the way it is (from the factory). there are some people out there who think they "upgraded" their handling by swapping springs/struts and their ride and handling is very very bad.

the best way is to get a full coilover setup.

 

I can understand where you guys are coming from. I think that the people who replace suspension components simply want more feedback and a firmer ride from the car. i can't believe the other camp has not joined in. After lowering my car, I can tell when I drive over the white lines in the road. it is that firm on the softest setting of the shocks. it's uncomfortable as hell if I hit an irregularity in the road, but the more controlled damping over stock shocks is worth it.
