tein suspension kit help please :)

hiii guys! I just recently bought a G37 and wanted to lower it. Basically, i'm wondering if i need to (or should) get a whole kit to lower it- i was looking at the tein basic damper kit. Or do i just need to get springs? I want a ride that will be comfortable and smooth and also daily-driveable. If you guys could give me your opinions that would really help. thanks!

Springs are much cheaper if all you want is the lowered look, but tein basic's will give you the option to adjust it if you want. I didn't know these were out yet?

Spings are cheaper than Coils, but you cant adjust them.

if i do get just the springs, does the ride still feel like the stock ride? or will i feel a big difference? it seems like mostly everyone just replaces the springs..

hey guys!

i was reading another thread about this other girl also wanting to drop her car.... and most people were recommending Eibach or S techs to her. However, in this thread, most people are recommending H techs. haha

can someone tell me which truly does leave the ride feeling smooth and is the nicest drop with the stock rims and tires?

and also, whats the difference between the s-techs and the h-techs?

thanks!
