not to jack the OP's thread, but would just getting new springs lower my car sufficiently? I only have 17,000 miles on my sport package suspension as is.

If yes, which are the best to lower it?

so if the op does all this, would it be the same (or very close) to factory sport, or would it still not be as good as factory sport?

Nevermind, I did my proper searches and research and kinda figured this out. Springs only won't do much to lower an OEM sport suspension. Think I'll stay with what I got until it wears out, then maybe some coilovers.
