If you want your car extremely lowered, and still remain some sort of ride quality then purchase extended top hats. I believe Koni makes the most popular ones. Just get Koni shocks and Ground Control coilovers, you can't go wrong that setup.

ground control coil overs with OTS rates, Ground control top hats for extra shock travel, and Koni yellow adjustable shocks = slammed with good suspension travel (minus the UCA shock tower lmao)

Im personally getting Function and Form type1 coilovers for my hatch.

I had KYB AGX shocks and Ground controls on my other ride and rode smooth as hell.
