Your link didnt work but I would say be really careful because anything more than a 1.5" drop will put ALOT of strain on your shocks and they will eventually blow. Plus, you'll need to consider camber kit to adjust, a good alignment and aftermarket shocks/struts... You should wait until someone with 1.6 drop gives you a word about it. I am not sure if .1 inch makes a big difference but who knows, worth the wait, i think!

i agree. anything more than 1.5" drop you want to start thinking about aftermarket shocks.

also...anything of much of a significantly higher spring rate you want aftermarket shocks.

as well as ac amber kit. anything lower than 1.5-1.75 you will start having some pretty bad camber issues.

go for the H&R lowering springs. they drop .75 inches and shouldn't blow up your OEM shocks.

those springs will be fine, you don't really need anything else. You have the option of upgrading to aftermarket shocks, which you might want to replace anyway if they are the original ones that came on your car.
