I'd definitely go the with KYB GR-2.It's a good deal and you can't go wrong with the ride. Depending on how low you go i'd go with the higher performance shock/struts.

Lower the car the rougher the ride.So keep it at a reasonable drop

well im getting the progress springs.. i think its .75 inch rear drop and 1.75 front. could be wrong... Just wondering also if anybody has used progress springs. And what exactly ARE my options for shocks/struts. Ive searched and surprisingly few options. My saab 9-3 has more options! lmao

There's a lot of lowering springs man. You just need to know your application. You lower your car depending on your size rims to prevent modificaton. I have 22's and I went with a 1.5in the front and 0.5 in the rear. I had a lot of rubbing so I had to shave a little

Oh well in that case go with the Eibach spring with KYB GR-2 shocks/struts. I think the application for the springs is 2" drop all around. So that should be good for 18" rims. Know that with that drop you car will be scrapping over hump but the ride will be nice
