Guys,
Next on my mod list is suspension. My actual aim is to lower the car but I dont want it to be stiffer! I want it just to be lower a bit without any effect on the soft drive that I currently have. If you read my previous post, I am driving on very shitty roads on 18" rims that feels allready a bit hard, and I am about to order 19"...
So is it possible to get lowering springs to fit my criteria?
OR
Should a get the whloe suspension kit?
OR
None of those will help?
By the way, here is my modding kit that is currently in transfer from UK to my country
Breyton type Front Lip
Rieger Rear Skirt
Rieger Side Skirts
ACS type roof spoiler
M5 type trunk spoiler
8000K low beam HID
8000K fog HID
BMS Power Box
Rpi scoop
BMC air filter
Euro Overlays
Eyebrows
Cant wait to fit everything

Lowering any car is going to have an effect on the comfort of the OEM suspension, but that doesn't mean that up grading makes it much worse.
I was over in the UK with mine at xmas and I have Eibach prokit springs and Koni sport shocks, plus also 19" alloy wheels. Yes, you do feel the bumps more but its not that bad.
I would still do it again:-)

Um.... So it is about springs only that lower the car or is it about shocks as well?
And is there any way to remain with OEM comfort but with a lwoer suspension at the same time??

Yes you want KW coilovers. They will cost you about 8x as much as springs but if you have the money thats the way to go. Your looking at around $2000+ for coils, springs are around $300 but you wont get the comfort you are looking for. For me, I can live with it I don't think it's that bad but I don't have any cobblestone roads around here.
