tires are 235/35 in the front and 245/35 in the rear.

suspension is KYB GR2’s on RSR Down Dropping springs (1.5 inch).

How you like the ride on lowering springs? I'm debating between lowering springs or coilovers. Just cheaper on the lowering spring, but just wondering how much of the quality ride do you sacrifice?

just factor in that if you go with springs you should get new shocks/struts at the same time, which makes the total much closer to coilovers.
by that math I went with coilovers, it ended up being just a few hundred more and then I had the comfort that I could fine tune height for any reason (new wheels, etc)
