I suggest you just get Megan EZ coilovers. They'll be your best bang for your buck, because if you get new springs you're gonna need new shocks.
Springs - 150
Shocks - 400
Labor - $$$
Could rack up to $700 or so easily. You're better off buying Megan EZ coilovers for $700 and throwing them on yourself. Much easier and faster installation than new springs.

but if your shocks are in fair condition you can look into a small drop like l-tuned springs which is compatible with your current shocks. a few folks also use the Eibach & Tanabe NF210 which are 1.25-1.5 drop the max which will work with stock shocks as long as they are in fair condition.

Thanks yeah I been thinking on Megan coilovers to. The price range is a little to high for me right now my car is stock it just hit 90k this month so I have to do the timing belt and waterpump . And for what I'm reading here not all springs are compatible with my current shocks I don't want a big drop but I need a 2" drop on the front .

Search. Tanabe DF will drop you and safe on stock shocks. Tein Stechs drop low and ride OEm as well. I have tein stech and have close to no gap on 20's. maybe 1/2" gap. Couldn't be any happier

Check with the vendors here for Megan EZ's. Might be the best way to lower your car if you're on a budget. I don't have them personally but I been doing some research and I'll also be getting them.

Thanks guys . I been reading here for a couple of months and seen most use tanabe springs or coilovers . I was thinking on going whith the tanabe springs I'm putting my 4th set of wheels this week and I'm tired of seeing my gs like a 4 x 4 I want a clean drop not to much the street in Houston are really bad . Megan racing springs would give me the drop I want and the price is good for $150 I thought like most use Megan coilovers. The springs are good like the coilovers.
