Toronto,
My questions are
#1) should I buy the koni Yellows and use the coilovers that I have (SPW)? #2) Do I buy the koni yellows and use Eibach lowering springs that I have sitting in my garage?
#3) Do I save a little bit more cash and Buy the Tien basic coilover kit?
#4) Do I save a little bit more cash and buy and different type of full coilover kit?

My situation:

I live in seattle, and these bumps are killing me, I like my car lowered a little bit, with not to much wheel gap, I'm not scraping the gound or anything but my ride is harsh with these tokico Blues.

I like to hit the highways fast everyone once in a while, and can't take this bad ride anymore, I also drag a lot now too.
 
Sounds like the Koni yellows and some H&R sports for 1.4/1.7 or if you only want an inch, try H&R O.E. or Tein H-Tech springs they're right at 1" front and back. Deffitly go with the Konis w/ springs or coil overs with hypercoils over the Tein Basic though.
 
I drive in my friend's car with tein SS and I have to say they are way better than spring and shock combos in terms of ride. PLus you can easily select if you want a bmw-(like) ride or you want full out stiff. I want the Tein Flex when I got enough money cuz they are zinc-coated so they wont rust according to some people.
