it really dpends on the terrain i cant tell any diffence in ride quality as far as being comfortable from sport suspension to ksport. they both ride nice. but on shitty roads, potholes bumps uglies the coilovers ride like a sac of balls. makes me cringe every time i bite a pothole

The only reason I was considering the coil-overs was that the KW's or the Bilstein let you lower your car by 0.9 inches on all sides.

What I had in mind was, the 0.9 inches on all sides and then the most soft setting possible. Do you guys think that would be cool as far as comfort goes ?

You do know that with coilovers you raise/lower your car whatever amount you choose. I had sports suspension, liked it, but wanted it lower, so i got H&R springs, liked it but wanted better handling and to lover it even further, got KSports. Now I can raise and lower whenever I feel like it and I can also make the ride as stiff or compliant as I choose - best of both worlds

+1. The precision you're asking for can be met with coils. $950 is a very good price for what you're getting.
