I’d start with lowering springs that are designed to work with the OEM struts. IMO, stock ride height with lower profile tires looks stupid. Bars are more noticeable once the suspension is a bit firmer.

lowering springs are never going to work with your stock struts

it's a trade off.. you either have good springs that won't work with them or have bad springs that do

Depends if simply looking to lower an inch, or plans on doing some lapping or auto crossing. I agree, it is a trade off. All depends on the wallet.

I'll likely drop mine an inch with the stock dampers for now. I have my GS-R for the days I want to drive like a moron. hehehe
