Question Best 1" Drop Spring/Strut Combo for 09 Coupe 6MT

Building a semi aggressive daily driver / weekend road racer. Not looking for a coilover, but rather a 1" drop spring & strut combo that will mimick the stock ride as closely as possible while giving me the handling im looking for incase i want to screw around on the track.

I know its a tall order, im not looking for a miracle, but looking for opinions from people who have this type of setup installed on their car currently.

I've done my searching but im still up in the air. I'd like opinions from people and what their current setup is. Much appreciated any advice in advance!

I am going with Swift Lowering Springs + KYB struts.
Have only heard positive to neutral feedback confirmation from the end users here on this forum.

A little over 1” on front and .8” rear as they say.

IM not sure but lowering the car might need some more mods like new tire size for having the near best looks and stance 🤔🙄

It would be cheaper to go with a set of coils tbh. Once you add the cost of the springs, the shocks and installation its going to be the same or slightly more than an entry set of coils. Also, if you don't end up with the look you were going for you can always lower or raise with coils vs being stuck at spring height. I was going to do the spring thing but I decided to go with coils and am very happy with it and when priced out I actually came out a little better. I got Tein Flex Z coils, an excellent entry set of coils and the ride quality is like stock sport springs but a little more planted if that makes sense
