If you use the search feature there are a ton of threads about this. I am using Tein CS coilovers. I think if you can swing it coilovers are the way to go. They allow you to adjust the height to exactly where you want. Now if you want to lay the car out, then airrunner is the way to go

Are you having problems with your tires rubbing? I also have the Tein CS V2 and think they're just way too soft which allows for the suspension to bounce too far and that makes my tires rub at every bump or ditch in the road. My drop is about 1 finger gap....my finger is pretty small so that'll be less then an inch from the fender to the tires. My front plastic molding on the driver's side is getting banged up pretty bad now. Man, it looks great but gonna cost some more money to fix.

Man, I only ride with the Zero setting on and it's just way too soft. I'm changing out the springs for some firmer ones as soon as they come in. Thanks for the info though.
