to lower, or not?

to lower, or not?
just sold my 2GS and am currently picking up a 3GS sometime this week. I'm considering lowering the 3GS but I do not want to sacrifice comfort for style. Just wondering if there was any springs/coilover setups that would maintain the 3GS's ride comfort or if there was a set that has a good balance between the two. would appreciate anyone's input

yep. the Tanabe NF's are basically no change to the ride of the 3GS. i never had the DF's but im sure they are a bit harsher ride. i had the NF's before and now have the Tein CST coilovers. i am extremely happy with the coilovers. they provide a good drop to the car and still have a decent and comfortable ride in comparison to springs. unfortunately they are approx 8-10 times the cost.....minimum. could be a lot more if you go for the really high-end products.

imho, get tanabe springs only if you plan on having a mild drop. it doesn't make sense to get coilovers and only have a mild drop. but if you want anything more than a mild drop, then coilovers is the way to go. note that most guys here with coilovers are either slammed or tucked (ie no gaps between fender and tire)

whats with the mild drops here slam it down!!! lol...Tein CST are nice but the drop is mild so I wouldn't spent the money and not have my car lower then I could with springs. I am very pleased with the ride and handling with my springs. HKS makes good springs for the GS with a nice aggressive drop for the 2GS not sure if they do for the 3GS or not. I would look to see. Besides you have the best roads in CA and weather to allow you to slam it
I am on Tanabe DF springs and the drop is perfect (~2") and so is the ride. Its not harsh at all.
