Honestly if you just bought your car you dont need anything really. Just drive it in stock fashion for at least 6 months then think about it. This is one mod you really dont need right away.

I'm so much worried about the comfy ride. The looks: well the car needs to go lower. As far as handling, the car handles great now. I think though that this could be improved upon. What I'm considering now is Koni adjustables with Tananbe GF springs.
If you go lower than about an 1", it may not handle that well. If you go with Koni's, check out Ground Control.

I installed some H&R coilovers about 3 weeks ago and the ride is a little more bouncy then stock other then that seems o.k. I put about an "1 1/4 drop.

That is exactly what I would NOT want whether it be track or street.

I personally think that you really shouldn't mess with the stock suspension unless you are going to take the time to corner weight it and set it up correctly
