eh coilovers are a rough ride and unless u wanna autox/drft dont waste ur money. I know they are amazing at handling and fully adjustable but i would just stay w/ some nice springs and struts.

The s-techs drop 1.5" and u can look at my ride to see how thye sit.

specter is also running S.Tech springs on stock shocks. him and i have installed springs before, its pretty easy. springs are good for a temporary solution on lowering your car, but i really do suggest coilovers.

my car on STANCEs is rough because i have it set stiff as hell. coilovers do not mean a harsh ride in all circumstances. if yo upick your suspension well, you will have a very sporty, yet relatively comfortable ride.

Depending on how temporary this is gonna be, you may think about chopping the stock springs.

I'm running kyb gr2 struts with eibach sportlines. If your going to SR swap, you will def. want to cut the front's at least cause SR is a lot lighter than KA so the front end sitts up a bit higher.

Other than that, get a set of springs, rent a spring compressor tool (or buy one), get a impact gun and you should be set. Fronts are a little more involved than the rears, but I did the whole job in like 45min. Not bad at all. If you get them by the meet, I'm sure if were at atowns house he will let you use his shit to do it.

BTW, coilovers > springs
