Default Lowering your S

I really am posting alot of new threads, well i just got my S not to long ago and i have lots of questions.
If i want to lower my S wouldent that just make it lower that it already is and make the risk for busting the bottom even greater. And plus, if i do want to lower it, i have to get suspension or do i just lower my current suspension.

how low do you want to go? what kind of ride quality are you looking for? what are you using the car for? are you going to do any serious track time? present yourself and your requirements, then it'll be easier to qualify or disqualify products on the market.

Im going to do some track time but i would prefer the suspension be set for my street driving. I drive it daily (except in snow ofcourse), and sometimes in rain. But my main concern is busting the side skirts. Lowering your S does make it look nicer and makes it a bit more aerodynamic but does it do anything els?

not really. and i'm not even sure about the aerodynamics of it - not on street speeds anyway.

i would suggest (depending on your budget) an adjustable coilover setup.

i wrote some comments on coilovers if you want to take a look.

hey mingster, could you recommend a good street coilover? regardless of price, i just want to lower my car, and probably won't be using my car on the track, however i would expect at least comparible performance to the stock set up, if not better, i was thinking of the tein RS's then throwing a edfc set up on it, but i have been told that even at the softest settings, the RS are way to hard for street use, thanks
