looks good 
for a drop, spring-wise most have said that the eibach pro-kits are closest to OEM ride quality. I have the eibach pro-kits myself as well, but stiffened up the setup when I went with bilstein shocks.

I am thinking about a drop... possibly change to OEM sport suspension
I did not want to suffer ride quality.

i'd highly suggest going KW v2's! it's as good, if not better than stock sport suspension! let me know and i can hook you up!

I heard changing the spring only will shorten the life of the strut.
Coilover will suffer ride quality.
I will most likely go with sport suspension. Hopefully someone will reply my post here

I have factory sport suspension sitting in my garage, however it's from a pre-LCI 2007, not sure if it will fit your ride?
. As comfort as an OEM non-sport suspension but still very adjustable!

yes springs will not stop the stock shocks from wearing quicker, so most recommended getting aftermarket shocks at the same time. sounds like best aftermarket spring/shock setup comfort wise that you would like would be eibach pro-kits and koni shocks. coilovers though, with KWs especially, honestly the ride quality will not suffer. then again it is also personal preference.
