I have found the 3 best options (for the price) are Emmanuel, Swift, and KW.

In that order, respectively....

Emmanuel offers a very aggressive price along with drop. Here is a pic:



Swift is a little pricier than Emmanuel and offers a more conservative drop. Image below:

KW offers great range and a great ride, drop range is 0.8" - 1.2". The below image is a 1.1" drop front and 1" drop rear:

with the lowering springs and spacers, would it severely affect ride quality and usability ? since i live in an area where theres tons of potholes.
