Welcome to the forum.

A drop is a must, maybe Eibach pro-kit for a conservative look or Tein S-tech for an agressive look.

Looks nice! I would agree with dropping it. Stock IS's sit way to high.

I have the prokits. I dont know if these pics help or not, but here you go. The car handles much better than before, and since they are the same as the L tuned springs, they work perfect with stock shocks. The prokits also allow you to keep your caster/camber within oem specs. I picked up some new KYB GR2's off of ebay for around $220 and the springs for around $250. My only complaint is that I wish it sat a little lower, I probably will upgrade to H&R's sometime later. These springs are perfect for the daily driver because you will never bottom out and the ride is as close to stock as you're gonna get.
