Best coils are probably the KW V3 but they aren't cheap. If you're looking for adjustable springs could go with the H&R VTF springs. H&R also makes a 1.2" and 2" drop spring but they aren't adjustable.

totally agree with above statement, KWv.3 is the best coilover option out there but be prepared to change your expensive tires ones a season as its almost impossible to dial in alignment with those, ask me how I know!

Would 1.2" cause any errors or any warranty issues? Any Do's and Don'ts with the 1.2" kit?
