Tein Flex or Buddy Club N+
are 380/340 the recomended rates for a daily driver?
I want a lower stand (.5 to 1 inch lower) withough sacrificing much comfort, I also want to keep the handling characteriscics of the car or improve upon them, or perhaps if possible reduce the tendency of the rear wheels to step out.

what would be better for street use: Bilstein pss9, BC N+, or GC/Konis?
if im not mistaken all 3 are on the $1000 price range, blistein being on the higher rage ($1100) and GC/Konis on the lower range of $1k.
recomendations experiences whats worth it and whats not? from those 3 choices
thanks for your input
Tein Flex would go higher much higher in cost IMO...

Depends on the quality of your streets. Racers love the balance of of the KW V3s. The spring rates on these are 10kg front and rear. So, it seems that equal rates front and rear would be good for handling. These rates might be too much for bad streets and slippery tires, though. Start with the tire's capacity, and tune the suspension from there. So, if you haven't upgraded to REO1Rs, RT615's, MXs, RS2s, ADO7s, T/As or the like, and haven't increased neg camber front and rear, I don't really see the need to change spring rates yet.
It's all about preferred balance of your car. Honestly, the stock suspension is very hard to beat as far as the streets are concerned. I'm trying to get Koni shocks, so I can play with the balance of the front and rear dampers and learn what that does on the autox course. Once I know what the damper changes feel like, only then will I move on to different springs, if ever, in which case the dampers will probably need to be revalved.
So, if the 5-6 kg stock springs are too soft for you and guys on r-comps are rolling on 10kgs, I would go with something around 8kg.
Or, again-go koni shocks-set the springs on the low perch and turn the rebound to full stiff.
If that's not stiff enough for you, IMMEDIATELY take the konis off, ship them to me for 400.00 and go get your KW's!
