you can get away with just lowering springs for now if you are having money issues, but you really should upgrade the shocks/struts as well.

If you just want springs, H&R are a good choise if you only want a 1.5" drop... everything else I've seen has been 2"+. For the whole set up... I think a couple people around here are rollin on dropzone coilovers and like them. They're not that expensive... check eBay.

if you want performance, you mide as well just upgrade the springs and shocks as well at the same time, i have just tein springs with a little drop on mine, it performes and feels GREAT but i guess its all how you want to drive it and how much money you have to spend

Yeah I've decided in the spring I'm gonna get some H&R Sports with Tokico HPs. Found the springs and shocks together for less than 600.
