Want to lower my Touring slightly just wondered what most people did when lowering theirs Lowering Springs or Coilies?

I do have intentions of getting it on the track and a little bit of drifting maybe just concerned that the Coilies will make it a horrible ride as this is my daily so could anyone recommend a decent set of springs or some super comfy Coilies

Cheers Mike

Don't bother with coilovers. If you just want to lower it a small amount get a decent set of springs and some new shocks. If you're on a budget a set of hottuning springs and dampers would do the job perfectly.

The most important thing is to take into account the condition of your shocks. There's no point putting a brand new stiff set of springs on failing shock absorbers that can't take it - it'll handle like a complete turd!
