Well...... If you dont wanna pay for expensive coilovers like Tein. You could get new springs and shocks, tanabe sustec springs and tokico shocks work really good together... Of course you could get Eibach or tein or whatever brand you want. Dont cut your springs or anything like that tho

definitly buy good brands like tokico and eibach etc, try to stay away from cheap adjustabe coilover sleeves they don't give a good ride most of the time. if you don't want to buy a camber kit don't go more than 1.5 inches

a set of tein s-tech will run you about $160 and its like a 1.8 drop but they work with your stock shocks and you dont need a camber kit..here are 2 links from people that have already installed them on here, myself and mynmisoli ... < i have this typed out because so many people ask the quesion
