I am actually on stock springs and suspensions. Well, except the touring bilstein abs on the front. the rest are all stock. Maybe as the springs age, they tend to fall. But those were during my 16inch rims era.

Now i am on 17inches, and i noticed that the ride is higher. And i dont think i like that.

Hmmm...

Hey, try H n R springs, and couple that with Koni adjustables (absorbers) for the front. Great combination for cornering support!
Double thumbsup!
