So I want to drop the 5th gen what set up do people recommend or are running with this isn't my daily but I don't want it so hard my Mrs complains it makes her t it's hurt or so low that I can't get drive any where slightly undulating!
If it looks like jobby and smells like jobby it probably is jobby!

IMO save for coilovers as the ride will be a bit better. When I had lowering springs on stock shocks I found the ride to be a bit harsh on the country roads I drive.

Tein Basic coilovers in both my Ludes at the moment but want a set of BC's or Meister R's for my 4th gen.

I've got H&R sport springs on mine 30mm drop on standard shocks (atm) and I love them! Drop looks nice and noticeable, closed the gap between the wheel and arches and the ride isn't too much different then stock but handling is much better.

Running a set or Meister R's Zeta S for the last 4 years
Awesome bit of kit
Adjustable dampening and high build quality.
On the softest setting it is near stock feel with it being a tad firm
Speak to jerrick at Meister R, he should be able to sort you out.
Not cheap but they definitely worth it.
Which ever ones you choose, buy once and do it right
