Well, being slammed doesn't always mean good handling, but I run Ohlins and Konis.

This thread for the maximum loss.

If you're not corner weighting you car, why do you need coilovers? Save your money.

you can go low and make it handle. but just going low does not instantly make the car handle.

you want good handling then go read up on how to actually set and tune suspension

you know... like selecting a shock application, selecting a rate, valving shocks to match that rate, selecting pieces to correct geometry, servicing wear parts, corner weighing the car, understanding alignment and what it does.

don't copy the monkey magic drop on coilovers non alignment no corner weigh retard bull **** that is so common on the street nowadays

you wana ride so low, that your forced to use positive camber, caution in going 88mph you might travel back in time.
