Coilovers
yes, listen to everyone above.
- why do you want coilovers?
- why do you think you NEED coilovers?
- what is the intended application (street, autoX, drag, road course, rally)
- What is your level of driving experience?
- do you want set it and forget it, or adjustable by you?
- what is your budget?
- what other mods do you have on the car?
- Where do you live (lots of salt, potholes, bumps etc)
- What level of compromise are you willing to settle with in regards to smooth ride and performance (and before GTworx hops in, yes it is possible to have both with the right amount of $$$)
These are all things you need to think about before pulling the trigger on coils. But listen to the experts like GTWorx, Smike, Robi etc and see what would work best for your application. They all have helped me in the past, and are incredibly knowledgeable. They will be able to set you up with custom coils that suit your needs and your car perfectly. Best of luck with the decision!

I want some drop to my car but with smooth ride feeling. I live on some good paved roads(some small potholes). It's a daily driven car. I've been driving for about 6 years now with only 1 accident(not my fault). And I got some 18x9.5 +35 Enkei RPF1's coming in about 3 days so now I'm just deciding what kind of suspension would be best.

get some swift sport springs and call it a day.
That will be a lot better than D2's. I've removed a few sets of those and the owners were very glad to go back to springs (better ride quality, quieter, no headaches, more durable, better handling, etc).

here's a pic of my car with 18x9.5's on MR Swift Spec R's. Not an aggressive drop, but handles real nice!!
I would check out AMR Engineering, Stance (GR+ or GR+ Pro), or Fortune Auto if you're looking for lower end coils. They perform pretty decent, and are affordable. You can get a set of Swift or Robispec springs and have your car handle well, but it might not give you the stance you're looking for.

From: somewhere testing various tires, brakes, and suspensions.
Lots of well stated comments here. Swift SpecRs, Bilstein HDs, Swift Sways:
DD, AX, HPDE car. Driven in MI, OH, PA, NJ, CT, NY, NH, etc. So road quality test done often
I figured the OP really wanted a bigger drop than our GTWORX springs, so Swifts are the best choice. Your car looks hot!
