Default Best suspension for street use(low dips)

I currently have the S-Tune front lip and Fast Intentions exhaust. The mufflers sit low and the front is sitting pretty low compared to the stock. I live in a stupid @$$ neighborhood and they put up speed bumps which are very very high, I barely clear them now. I plan on getting the Stillen S/C so that means changing suspension, clutch, flywheel, etc.

So what is the best suspension to get without going so low. I know the NISMO suspension is only like a 0.4in drop from the sport...Besides that what are the others? (A little bit lower than the NISMO)

Thanks

I'd personally go with the KW's. They are height adjustable and ride REALLY well on the streets! I had a set on my Subaru for the last 3 years and nothing be great things to say about them.

I've also sold many sets to my 350/370/GTR customers and they've all been overwhelmingly surprised with how well they performed!

With those coilovers, what is the involuntary drop from installation. I had JIC FLA2s on my S13 before and the rear was like 1.8"-1.9" drop (that was with about an inch of threads used). But you know S13s had the 4x4 ride height from the factory. Just curious.............

With the KW's, you can set them from Stock Ride height to 2" lower...not recommended to go any lower than that!
