Problem with coilovers is every time you hit a pot hole, it'll throw you pretty bad.

Well what coilovers would you recommend?

Can you also explain coilovers vs springs, cost and difference.

Thanks in advance.

Seriously looking into CV2s with a drop, "budget is about $3,500 ish"

Also keep in mind wheel offset should be determined by whether or not the car is dropped. The wheels move in-board as the car is lowered.

So if you buy wheels with offsets for your G with no drop, the next buyer will most likely need spacers if his car is dropped.

And the suspension is stock.
I know I should lower it a bit.

I have eibachs with 20s and it’s no hydraulic ride. It’s 10x better than stock and improved handling. Spring is a little stiff, but it’s exactly how I want it. You might wanna get the F+B SPC camber kit as well for better tire life and proper alignment. Coils as mention above gives you more flexibility for height adjustment where spring is set at one height.
