Default john, concerning earlier post about coilovers vs springs & shock combo ..

<i>...I would go with the Sport springs from H&R and Koni or Bilstein shocks. Better yet, if you already have the Sport Package, use the Sport springs with Bilsteins or Konis. The factory Sport spring rates are almost the same as the aftermarket springs. With the Bilsteins you can also set the front spring perches 10mm lower for a little extra lowering.</i>

i do have the sport package(~25mm lower?) but am also looking to lower further by another ~20mm. so i'm looking at a total of ~1.75in lower. i've seen a few pix of 17" & 18" wheels on the reg sport package. the car looks kinda jacked up.

i will not be doing any track events so once it's set it's set. i really don't need the coilover adjustability. it seems that with the addition lowering i want i'd have to toss the stock setup completely. yes?
