Eibach springs.approx.$530+install.They're 1 of the few springs that are compatible with stock shocks.Approx.35mm drop.King springs.

.In my experience they tend to sag a bit over time and they're linear,not progressive(not sure if they've changed since i had them installed over 6 yrs.ago on my previous car)Spend the extra and get decent springs.Any lowered spring will wear out a stock shock quicker than normal,some faster than others.

Don't skimp on quality when it comes to handling

King springs dont go too low though you'll be fine

its all about budget these days. As for the ride quality King spring will be a lil abit hard . but if you dont mind it kings is the way to go. go for the level 2 king spring or sumthing they got 3 stage rite correct me if im wrong
