^LOL, be nice
welcome
check the suspension section; there's lots of info readily available

you will have choices of s/s combo or coilovers or air. there are lots of defining factors which can sway your decision making. read up and make a just decision; just defined by your needs and pocketbook
GL!

You can check out my thread in the Suspension and Brakes. It's a review on Tanabe NF210.

springs wont drop you that low, will still have maybe 3 finger gaps, and it's not really good for stock shocks either. I would just save a bit more money and get coilovers, there are couples out there that's around $600-$900 bnew/used such as Megan, D2 (i have this), ksport, bc racing... (and you probably need front RCA and rear RCA to adjust your cambers if you decide to drop it low )

coilovers are the best and cheapest way to make your car look good, springs only give you one height. im dumped on megans right now and there under 1000 and worth it.
