I currently have the stock sport suspension setup; however, I think its too smooth for me (yes I want stiffer suspension feel unlike almost everyone here who wants smooth feel, I get too sleepy on trips over 30 minutes in smooth riding vechicles) and I want a more aggressive drop. But I know I can't drop it anymore than 1.7" I have again slammed my car against these freaking steep norcal driveways so many times-yes I even drove it down at an angle -_- !

Any set of coilovers other than the Tein CS.

TEIN SS are affordable and do the job.

but if you got the money, FABULOUS coilovers.

Get the HKS kansai coilovers. HKS makes some of the best handling coilovers for any cars. They are also lighter so they won't loosen your fillings.

I didn't even know HKS made coilover for our cars. Does anyone have any more information on this?

^Technically, they don't - yet. There's a car here that has had the prototypes on for a while.

HKS Kansai does have coilovers for the ISx50. Kansai service is a separate division of HKS. For an HKS dealer to purchase and sell them here in the states would require good relations with HKS USA and an agreement with HKS Japan other wise you won't have any warranty support from them if they are purchased directly from HKS Japan on the grey market.

do those HKS fit onto the AWD? and what about the Tien SS ones?

I doubt the are meant for it but it could very well work for that application. The problem with that AWD model is that it wasn't designed for performance reasons. It was designed for more of an all purpose option for vehicle driven in poor weather conditions where traction is limited. Installing a sport suspension (or sportier suspension) on these models is counter productive and negates the point of having an AWD powertrain. I would think that, due to its AWD nature, the manufacturer would have simiar spring rates for front and rear. Using the RWD springs might upset the balance. Also the caster angle on the front suspension is almost double on the RWD model vs the AWD model. I also think the kingpin angle is different. I would steer away from using a drop kit or modified suspension on the GSE25.
