There are many selections too choose from:
-Eibach Pro-Kit
-H&R Sports
-Progress Sports
-Tein
-Sprint
-B&G
etc.
In the end it all depends how low you want your car to sit and what ride qualities you want.
I'd say lower your car before purchasing a body kit.*But thats just me* hope this helps.

It all depends where you shop at and how much your willing to spend.

Aren't the Maxspeed springs very similar to the Eibach with their drops. They're on ebay for $89 plus shipping, many memebers have these and are pleased with them.

i just ordered the set of tein s.tech springs from maxtuning. i was just wondering how much the drop is once it's settled, and if the drop is gonna make my car look uneven. i've seen some cars dropped that have the front or rear end way higher than the other. i want mine to sit level. does anyone have any experience with these springs?

Maxspeeds!!

For the price can't be beat - Do't give you the bounce - bounce - bounce and handle well. Not a large drop but enough if that's the range you are looking for.

Pics at bottom of page - Stock vs Maxspeeds

i've already ordered the tein s.tech springs. i just wanted to kno what i was in for. woo choo's ride looks phat. i like his drop. hopefully mine will turn out good too. oh in order to install springs and shocks/struts, do i need to buy separate mounts? i saw that they were on the GD section, but are those really necessary?

you don't need diff. mounts for the GR-2s. Go to www.tein.com to see a max with the springs after they settled. I was on the group deal, but pulled out because I didn't think any strut would hold up to suck a low drop. I'm happy with my Maxspeed. (once they come in the mail)

I just purchased Maxspeeds from Abtivan Concepts out of CA.

$104+shipping. Haven't gotten them installed yet. Thursday they'll be on with Tokicos I purchased from Southwest Autoworks, I'll post pics on my homepage.
