which will give me the smoothest ride? springs or coil?
I don't mind spending the little extra money that is required for coilovers, provided they are going to give me the smoothest ride.
I do want to lower the car, and plan for 18" wheels. I don't mind a more conservative lower IF the springs/struts combo will provide a better daily drive feel on somewhat bumpy roads.
If coilovers are the way to go though, please let me know.
If struts/springs are the general consensus then I am thinking the TRD combo. But if coilovers are the majority, I plan on either the Tein Basic or H&R.
Thoughts?
(BTW, I have searched quite a bit, and was considering the Megan Racing coilovers, but have heard they are a pretty firm ride, and that really isn't what I want)

how far do you wanna slam? and how picky are you with the ride?
for me, i would be able to live with all of the above mentioned coilovers if the dampening is soft enough, if youre not gonna a/x much then just keep it as soft as possible and youll be straight.
