stock struts is your main problem.

Im running Tokico D-Specs and Sportline Springs. Best set up I can find.

FAIL.

your car hates you. do this: walk around for a whole week with a weighted workout vest on ( maybe 50 pounds worth or so) and you have to walk in a karate stance. (so squatting the whole time)

after the week is over your knees will like you about as much as your stock struts do right now.

I'm running D-Specs with Pro Kit springs, drop wasn't as low as I wanted it to be. However with the crappy roads, and great ride quality I've fallen in love with them.

I've also heard a lot of people running Tein S-tech springs with either D-specs or KYB AGXs and love them.

ill bite. its not clean by any stretch of the word, but ull get the point.
dropped for the past 3 years on Eibach Sportlines and for the past 2 years with Tokico D-specs. stock struts suck and thats the truth. still love the setup, still very comfortable, when the struts are set reasonably. very nice setup. springs are a tad bouncy, but you can soften up the struts to keep the ride nice still. i like it, and i think even after 3 years it still looks and feels fantastic. no sag at all.

i was dumb a few years ago when i thought just tossing in lowering springs was the way to go. no that i am working on the car again ( it sat for years with out leaving the garage), now i am doing things right

first problem, you bought drop zones... sounds like you need a spring strut combo now.

i've been on stock struts and shocks for 45k miles! ride quality is great!

If you are on OEM springs fine. Lowering springs bad information. When i first started out i had stock struts on Eibach Pro kits and Intrax. Until i got my Koni setup, i realize that the ride i thought was good sucked really badly. If you have to slow down on a road that is not so bumpy, your ride sucks.

S-techs with koni yellows. On full soft the ride quality is better than stock. The rear is a little high, but it's not that bad - not like stock lol.

KYB's and ProKits for a really great ride that's better than stock could ever be.

Not sure what the head bashing is about there. Maybe it's your spelling or the fact that you're on stock struts.

However, if that's your sig, you need to shrink it down, as it's way oversize.

D-Specs and Sportlines. Love them.

The back isn't lower than the front, its a bigger drop but all it does is even out the car
I got the sportlines & d-spec

I'm running pro-kit with AGX's...heres a pic with the car stopped and one moving...the radials are 225/50/15 so they are a little shorter than stock
