Thinking about lowering

What do you guys think is the best way to go brand or model wise?

Pretty vague question. How much are you looking to lower? Slam? Price range?

performance - pedders
drop - coilovers
decent drop with non harsh ride to get rid of the 4x4 look - progress springs (what i have, and i love em, everyone has their preference though)

Sportlines don't have a harsh ride at all...heaven forbid you hit a whole TWO bumps in a row though...

More drop in the rear...pedders drop as much as anything else other than coilovers in the front.

All the coilovers people are buying are garbage coilovers.

Race quality coils are like 5-6 grand and let you choose REAL coil rates, and usually have damp, comp, high speed and low speed along with camber and toe adjustment

Not just "stiff, soft" damping and linear 400 lb springs on all 4 corners.

Because the front of my car weighs the same as the empty trunk with a CF replacement...yeah...right...thanks Megan...
