Default Suspension recommendations! Tell me what you think....

So i talk to my dad about hotchkis and hes being **** and said they are too low... im so f***ing ____ed off... So are there any other lowering springs that are more agressive than trds, but not as aggressive as hots? Ive been reading up on H&R springs and they seem pretty good, is there anyone who has those springs that could tell me how the ride is? im looking for a very tight suspension, without a dramatic drop. So i was thinking that i cud do these H&R springs along with a set of antiroll bars... Tell me what you think...

like i've recommended for a few people before...you'd be better off with a coilover system becuase ur gonna have to get new shocks/struts anyways because the stock ones with aftermarket springs only last about 10k miles. This way, you can also adjust the height to whatever pleases you and ur dad

That depends on how aggressive the drop is.. I have had trds with stock shocks for about 20k miles now.. no issues whatsoever, and shouldnt have any at all. I have seen others with the same setup for much longer.

Much lower and you would start thinking of replacing them though.

Yeah that is true with the TRD springs, but he already said he wants something a little lower than that. Every other aftermarket lower spring that i have heard of on here lasts around 10-15k miles on the stock setup.
