    I'm using H&R race and billy sport... Use as daily, comfort and feels like a gokart.. Running with 205/55/r15 for winter and 195/50/r15 semi slick for summer...

    I'm comfortable with eibach sports and bilstein b6 for my daily drive.

    Wheel selection would be the biggest factor for nice looking after the suspension setup :p

    Cheers

    I was considering H&R Super Sport springs because theyre not as firm as Race springs, but keep how low it goes.

    Reasoning behind this is that I'm gonna do about 95% of my driving on paved roads with minimal obstacles other than my driveway.

    Should this be my go-to or should i do regular Sport springs.

    (Also considering bags as seen in post above this)

    Yea I was thinking about bags, not too sure about the cost though. Haven't looked into it.
    That and I don't want that to ruin the drivability, in a way. Like how it handles.
    Because I hear that some aftermarket setups can really ruin the feel of it.

    Again, I suggest E30 M3 springs and Koni Sport Adjustable dampers/struts. Lowers the car a little but not enough to make me nervous, and the ride is stiff enough to be sporty but smooth enough that I get compliments almost every time I give someone a ride. Here's a shot of the car from the side:

    Which suspension setup is right for me?

    I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this, so please redirect me if I'm in the wrong place, but I need some help on deciding what suspension setup is best for my situation.

    I'm currently riding the stock suspension which looks like I'm riding in a hovercraft due to its height off the ground. Long story short, something needs to be done.
    Anyway, the main reason I need help here is because I have a rather steep driveway that'll scrape the underside of the front bumper if you drive into it without an angle. (9 inches off the ground)

    So, my question is, what suspension can clear this nicely (at an angle, of course) while eliminating a good amount of the massive fender gap.
    Looking for something that would be practical as a daily driver but still maintain a nice look.

    Current Height:




    What I'd like it to look like (or lower, if possible):





    Thanks
