Here we go again...

First off, give us a budget to work with. Prices can range from $250 and up assuming you want new and just springs (ie. no shocks). How much of a drop are you looking for? Are you willing to sacrifice some comfort for handling?

As for the suspension itself, if you want it to be a perfectly even drop, you could pick up a set of coilovers (either the full set or just the sleeves w. new shocks). However, coilovers tend to offer a stiffer ride than that of progressive rate springs. If you want the "cushier" ride, then go for the aforementioned progressive rate lowering springs that offer a larger drop in the front than that of the rear to balance your car's stance out (ie. H&R, Neuspeed, I believe Eibach also). If the drop isn't going to be substantial, you may even be able to use your stock shocks (assuming you're going with the springs).
