You can go with Tein CsV2's (what i have) which ride great. They don't go as low as the others but get some rca's from exact and it will go low enough that you won't be able to turn all the way plus you have full suspension travel and a nice ride. Every single person who has ridden in my car has said that it rides great. Including an unnamed JIC owner

they go low but not really really low. I have 18 with 225/40/18 and 245/40/18 but its right now, the front has no gap and rear fender is covering the tire a little. but they will go lower, maybe by 1/2 inch.

I just like the HKS LS since it was designed for luxury cars for street use where as the RS is more sporty.

either way, you'll have to do something about the front control arm...

HKS RS

I've ridden and driven in lots of GS and the HKS LS is my favorite so far. I liked them better than all of the Teins (CS, CSv2, Flex, HA, RA) I've experienced. The HKS RS is stiffer than the LS, but it's not unbearable at all.

i think slam is when u can barely turn, ur UCA hits all the time, and you scrape your undercarriage on most speed bumps lol
