So im ready to order either

a set of canuck motorsports spring, eibach prokit gen1 springs WITH stock shocks (160-250$)

or

the infamous racelands coilovers that are 1 way ajustable (1-3 inches according to their site) and put the stock suspention back in when needed (450$)

my point is, considering my income on a steady raise, i will sell the car in 2 years and get something bigger and meaner, for the time being, i want to drop my car and still have something that will last me for a good 2 years tops. I know stock shocks wont handle a 2 inch drop so well, considering i do 30k km a year they would last me a year and a half. on the other hand i do not do hard cornering very often, i dont live near sweet twisty roads and if i need a ''race'' car, i already have a miata in sight. This being why i consider buying the racelands purely for the looks. As soon as they blown, i will put the stock suspention that will be like brand new.

share your toughts, im open to all sugestions but i do not aim at spending 1,500$ on a suspention set-up, would much rather buy a cleaner miata and spare my skyactiv with a couple tousands of kilometers.

#6) Buy a set of used BC's, I know there will be a set or two for sale this winter, there always are. This way you can enjoy your adjustable height, your adjustable stiffness, and keep your stock suspension untampered.

springs and stock shocks kill your stock shocks no matter what... so if you plan on going back to stock dont run em... i say racelands... but thats me

im leaning towards this but i have the whole winter to decide, and maybe find a sweet deal on some BC....

yeah but corksport just released a shock set with adjustability, that paired with their springs should be good!
