For maximum handling -- Eibachs (1.2" drop)
For a good combo of drop and performance -- Intrax (1.7" drop)
For maximum drop -- Sprints (1.8"+ drop)

There are a few brands in between. You should probably get some better struts if you add lowering springs.

only problem with this post I see is that 90% of the time Intrax gives a lower drop than sprint.

Are there any alignment problems when you put lowering springs on and leave every thing else stock?
