Custom Suspension question

I made a mistake and bought some Dropzone Sleeved coilovers a month back and yes, they ride like *** on stock shocks. I love the adjustability of the coilovers but am thinking about getting some lowering springs. I'm looking at both the Tein S Tech and the Neuspeed race springs, and will end up with one of those. Now my question is, does anybody know if I could still use the perches on the coilovers to mount the springs to provide some adjustability as to how low it goes? Also, which springs is going to provide the smoother ride? I've heard the S Tech's are smoother but at the same time they are not made for a sedan.

obviously the teins are going to be smoother since they dont drop nearly as low as neuspeed race. what height do you have it set at right now? i have neuspeed race on my ride and its pretty harsh on stock shocks but my previous neuspeed sports rode really nice. but ya since you have a sedan i personally think you should get neuspeed sports for sedan. anything lower is going to ride pretty badd on stock shocks.

as for can you use the dz perch. haha that would be nice but sorry you cant. if you took them off the car and tried to put the neuspeeds over them you'll see the springs on the coilovers are A LOT smaller. if they two spring's(dropzone vs. neuspeed) had the same diameter it might work but they are totally different so it wont.
