Do you plan on slamming the car?
Do you plan on adjusting the ride height often?
What is your budget?

Dane, you just made my cry there.
I can completely agree with FK Coils.
Many people complain with a Spring/Shock set-up that the ride is never right, or it just never is adjusted to their liking.
Coilovers should always be considered. This is why I am saving up until I can purchase them. I could get Eibach Springs and Koni Shocks, but i don't want to compromise

Buy nice or buy it twice. Not all coilovers are big money. Some are priced very close to comparable spring & shock combos.He doesn't want to spend alot of money

Ok, not dissagreeing but I've never seen a coil over set of any value or worth putting on a car that's less than $1200. Just saying lol. I'm sure there's others out there and if there is I'd like you to please show me because for me atleast, I'm planning on doing the H&R cup kit this winter. I'd like to see other options for around the same price.

if you just want to a slight drop, I'd recommend the UUC tuned springs. They drop the car and are designed to work with stock shocks/struts. Other aftermarket brands like Eibach and H&R come highly recommended and will work but your shocks/struts will degrade way faster.
If you want a more drop than maybe buy a set of H&R race springs and Bilstein or Koni shocks all around, this costs a bit more though.

Eibach lowered probably 25mm, maybe more at the front. Still can't believe how much better than stock the ride is.
Member
How many inches did those springs lower your car?
