quality in my opinion is eibachs with kyb monomax. The drop's about 1.5" though and they are actual performance springs. For looks, Intrax.

dont cut springs, especially ones you just paid 200 bones for

Go with intrax or sprint if you want a 1.8 drop

it's up to you...

for performance, Eibach and Koni are the ticket.

for drop, use Sprint or Intrax for springs and whatever struts you want (as long as they're not stock. get KYB at least)

they're all quality products, but since you want drop, you have to sacrifice a bit of performance. sprint won't corner as well as Eibach because they're softer. ride will be a tad smoother though, so you at least get that much back.
