another option for springs, H&R race would drop you 1.3" all around but recommended you go with aftermarket shocks from the get-go.

shocks are about $600 and H&R race springs are about $340. might as well get coilovers from there.

I had Eibach Pro-Kit installed on OEM sports suspension.

The drop was minimal.
