new springs. Either get lowering springs or adjustable setups such as ground control. Also advised to replace the struts with koni's preferably or there are other brands such as tokico, kyb, and afew others

I just lowered my car yesterday with just a set of Megan Racing lowering springs and a set of KYB struts. You will need an alignment and it all depends on how much of a drop you want to go with. I bought the springs because i needed springs and i am happy but i wasn't too sure on dropping the car 1.75" but so far i am happy. I just got to take it easy going over speed bumps or entering driveways.

Lowering springs and shocks. S-techs are popular and only about $200.
