Talking Bad Roads

I am currently rebuilding the motor on my 05 Scion tC and I was wondering if anyone had a good idea on a set of street coilovers?
I wanna drop the height but the other issue is I live in Milwaukee,WI, so the road where I drive aren't the greatest I will still take caution when driving.

I just wanted to know if anyone has any good ideas?

To be honest, you are better off with getting a good set of shocks and springs. Most of the affordable aftermarket coilovers do not hold up well in winter/salt road conditions. Plus, you'll want to maintain at least some ground clearance if you get a decent amount of snow.

FYI, I ran Stance Coilovers for a couple years, and "donwgraded" to Koni yellows and TRD Springs. The ride is much more comfortable and a big improvement over stock. The coilovers on the other hand handled great, but was a bit too extreme for the Northeast road conditions. On a budget, I'd recommend TRD/Eibach Springs and either Tokico HP shocks or even KYB GR2s. I love the Koni's but you pay a price for the adjustability that is overkill for most.
