Drop wasnt low enough for my tastes, and the ride was a lil stiff. But, thats what happens when you lower your car.

I've got that combination. I've had no problems. I like the height of mine. Not too low, but noticable. The ride is fairly stiff (IMO), but only on major bumps (potholes, rough RR tracks, etc). Other than that, I love it.

I would get illuminas if your are planning on changing the springs. The blues are supposed to be OEM replacement, which means they were matched for a stock springs. When you go to the eibachs, the shocks will not be matched for the springs. When you go to a stiffer spring, ie eibachs, the shocks will have a harder time doing there job of damping the suspension travel. This is why the adjustables are much better. You can match them to the springs you put on.
