Best Suspension steup?

Well she's my daily driver so you have to keep that in mind. Right now the car is wayyyy to low. Literally she sits less than a1 inch from the ground measuring from the front bumper. Dont know what the last owner did. Springs look stock but its time for them to be done anyways so whats the best suspension out there? Should I get coilovers, or do i do a spring / strut combo?? Since i want to raise the ride up i was thinking of going with Eibach springs for the simple fact it drops it a inch all around. The Tein drops the front 1.4 inches and the rear 1.3 inches. Whats better The Eibach or Teins? As far as the struts go i was thinking Tokico or KYB. What do you guys have and suggest?

It depends on what your car is used for? You mentioned a daily driver, so I think coilovers are overkill. I think strut/spring combo will work. Eibach springs and koni struts. If you have the money, sure coilovers are nice. haha.

Like Drunkenbowler suggested... If it is daily driver, go with the spring/strut, and I suggested the Tokico struct and Eibach Pro springs. They are awesome. But if you plan to track it someday or want to play with the suspensions a little bit more, nevertheless, go with a set of coilovers. And Tein SS is what I would suggest. Its very good for street (comfort wise) and it could also be stiffen for track. It is 27 way adjustable, very awesome set of coilovers. Do some research on the suspension section for the FDs. You'll be amazed on what people have gone thru explaining this same question many other asked. Good luck

I would suggest Koni shocks and Eibach springs. The Eibach springs lower the front a lot more than they do the rear. With the Koni shocks, you have an adjustable perch which will allow you to even out the ride height a little.
