your right it does handle like a dream but until you drive a car with a fully sorted chassis you will never know the difference.
lowering a lude by 35mm with coilovers and fitting uprated roll bars turns the car into a focused corner eater and if you can carry speed through a corner that makes you quicker

Proper Initial D stuff right there!!!

Will coilovers ruin the ride quality that the car has stock though?? The car is only lowered on springs at the moment but still feels good to drive.

I found that coilovers improved the ride over lowering springs on stock shocks.

Okay thanks for your input guys. From my experience it always makes it rougher but more precise but that's probably from the way it was setup on my previous cars
