I dropped on H&R springs and Bilstein B8 struts/shocks. Ride is rough, but handling is great and no bounce. I would recommend it if you don't mind the harsher ride and want to save some dough. If you want the best, KW v3 is the only way to go, from what I hear. And of course, dropping on springs and stock shocks/struts is likely to result in negative side effects, like bounce.
