obviously coilovers are the better route...not a wide variety of springs for the mr and nothing that will "dump" the car like you are looking for

functionality would be gone if you lower the car too much...mine is on works springs and I have to be careful

depends on your goals with the car...just daily driving get springs

Don't go cheap; get some high quality coilovers. Be prepared to pay though; they are >$1000.

+1 on deciding what you want out of dropping the car. If you are going just for looks while driving on the street, springs would be cheaper and probably fine (just search the site and choose carefully). If you want to track the car, better to buy some good coilovers (again, search the site).

I got the Eibach Pro kit on mine. Lowered it about an inch. Looks good and drives the same as stock. I'm pretty happy with them.

tein s-techs drop your car the most but they do not improve handling. the megan springs lower your car pretty good too.

with coilovers YOU set your own ride height
