You have roughly 3.5 inches of wheel travel stock, 4.1 inches till hard parts hit the ground. You want to slam your car , so probably around a 2 inch drop. This leaves you with 1.5 inches of travel. How it rides doesn't really matter, you will pretty much be riding on bump stops.

Stance is the cheapest I'd ever go on coilovers. If you're looking for anything cheaper go get a Honda.

If you plan on going really low I wouldn't expect any inexpensive coilover setup to ride well haha. Also, people's interpretation of ride quality will differ.

This is my first of coils and I think the ride quality is excellent. I do feel all the bumps on the road which I knew would happen...only thing that could get annoying is the uca hitting from being so low..but only driven about 200 miles within the past 2 months

When going as low as possible please remove comfort from the equation.

Why not just cut a coil off your skunk springs. You will be lower and save $$$. If you only plan on changing your rides height once a year, you are just wasting your money buying coilovers As for comfort, with only cutting one coil, your ride quality wouldn't suffer too bad.

ive never been a fan of cutting springs, wouldnt that make the ride ultra bouncy though?
