Definitely drop, but why go shocks and springs when you can get KSport coilovers for about the same price (or less) - PM Michael (acuteperformance) and see about pricing. Takes me about 4-5 hrs for install, no need to pay $600 in labor for that.
Also, do shadowline before the mirrors too. Chrome window trim and M5 mirrors would look just plain silly.

thanks again guys. So far everyone is saying DROP. It really must make a huge difference or else it wouldn't be done. I guess I'll just keep saving up. It was the price of labor, that even led me to this choice of mirrors etc. shops in Houston TX are retarded. and btw i'll look into those K-sport coilovers too. thanx

If you have a garage you can do the KSPort install yourself. Trust me, just PM me if you have any questions.
