Here is my two cents. Do not do it wrong the first time. Anyone that knows will tell you that going lowered on stock struts is bad. I know a few people on here (KustmAce is one) that is lowered on stock struts. He says his car rides perfectly fine. But eventually they will blow. If you go with lowering springs up to 1.5 inches I would reccomend the KYB AGX's. They are warrantied to 1.5 inches. The GR2's are OEM replacement. B & G are good springs from what I hear and is a 1.6 inch drop all around. Goldlines are 1.75 all around. Eibach Pro Kit is 1.4 inches all around and the Eibach Sport is 1.7 front and 2.3 back. If you are looking for more than a 1.5" drop you could get some Koni Yellows or
Tokico D Spec Struts. Gravana Tuning has a nice price on the SPRING & SHOCK COMBO: Koni Yellows with B+G Sport Springs. It's $700 and you are getting lowered 1.6 inches all around.
