I've got the Racing Beat ones. Lowers the car 1", and they feel great. About $60 a corner too...

Aftermarket springs are going to wear out your stock shocks pretty quickly. You can use your stock shocks, but its not recommended. And when the stock shocks go, make sure you get some good aftermarket ones.

The best deal for springs and shocks is from Ground Control. Give them a call. They have exellent coilover systems.

Ya intrax gives the largest drop, but is supposed to be a pretty soft ride. HKS makes some springs, Tokico does, and a few others. How low are you trying to go?

I've got Suspension Techniques. They lower an inch and were under $200 bucks with shipping from www.shox.com . I think they ride decent, I've got them on Kyb AGX shocks that I have set for a firmer than normal ride anyway.
