Hard to get both so you gotta find a middle ground. I can tell you that it definitely isnt worth buying a set of el cheapo springs since you'll be repairing or repacing them in a year.

We've had a million threads on lowering feel free to sift through them Lowering Search

I had el cheapo for 2 years, they gave me headaches and have since been replaced with a Tein set. Cost me $700 but I haven't had a problem with them ever and they ride a million times smoother.

If you just want the car to sit a litle lower to look a lil better, you can do fine with a set of lowering springs but be prepared to bounce a bit as you drive. If you're not a fan of the bouncy ride you'll need shorter struts and shocks as well.

H&R springs with Tokico blue struts, even cheaper H&R springs with KYB GR2 struts. You can't go wrong with H&R! Like 00accord said, check the search. I've answered this question 4,000 times.

FYI your car uses struts, not shocks & struts. A strut is a type of a shock.
