Personaly, if I were you. If your going to do suspension, do it right. The following link is a sticky thread regarding the coilovers made for our cars. You can go anywhere from 0 - 3 inch drop with these.

-------------------

If your going to go with springs... I've read a lot of good things about the Sportlines and Eibachs. Though if you go that route, it's recommended you buy konis aftermarket struts. Or bye bye OEM struts... they'll turn to mush in no time.

The sportlines I believe give a 2 inch drop, and the eibachs do 1.5''. Correct me if I'm wrong guys.

My bad... correction..

Eibach Sportlines, always though they were two different companies... reading > me haha.

So that explains the pro kit, etc...

I think your thinking of the eibach pro kit vs the eibach sportlines... they are two different types of springs the pro kit drops 1.5" and the sportlines drop like 1.8"-2"

Go with ZZP SSSC springs. Closest to the stock spring rate, but lower like 2"
