Default lowering spring

This is probably the 20th post of simalar topic but here it goes.
I want to lower my 04 but don't want the ride to deminish. I had s-techs in mind but is there any better lowering springs for S2's???

Thanks in advance

You dont want the ride to "deminish"?

Dont cheap out then....buy spring/shock combo or coilovers.

Only changing the springs is ghetto...

If you don't mind losing some performance/ handlng at the limit, then springs are ok for the street. Tanabe or Eibach are decent.

I have tein S-techs good 1.5" drop, ride is a bit stiffer, but you hit bumps like a mofo. you can combine them with the koni yellow shocks and have a pretty good package from what i understand
