Default want new shocks and springs..ive searched and cant find what im looking for

I have 90k on my car and i think its time to replace the stock shocks and springs. also lowering it would be nice as well. My car sees the track maybe twice a year and goes hard through the corners every once in a while. Mainly i just take it out and drive it after work or on the weekends. I'm looking for something that rides nice, corners decent, and makes my car not look like a 4x4. Ive read quite a bit about konis, they seem quite expensive but worth the $. like i said i do enjoy finding a road with some corners on it but its not a huge part of my driving. what do you guys think is my best option. everyone is going to say koni, but i really dont want to spend that much $

Depending on the ammount of drop, it's possible to get Koni's and do the lower perch/heater hose. That gives you a lot of ride comfort, increased cornering, and about .75/.5" drop, and you don't have to buy springs!

I put BMR springs and KYB Adj on. Ride is really pretty damn good for the car being lower with all the other suspension up grades! A good set up for the best bang for your buck kinda guy!:> Whatever you do don't get Eibach sportlines springs!!
