H&R race springs drops nice but not too low that you rub or bottom out a lot.

you might want to think about doing adjustable coilovers though so you can get the ride height to exactly what you like.

Hit up the sponsored sale section as they usually have better deals. I just did a quick search and found this one from LastLookCustoms which have them for $160 shipped. I'm sure you can probably find a better price if you search some more.

s. techs are going to drop the fenders lower than the tire, look at pics before you decide, go with what YOU want, not with what other people tell you.

stechs are detrimental to handling. If its a looks thing, then stechs hands down. But there is such a thing as too low...
