Everyone's gonna tell you something different, but myself and many others have had success with BC Racing's BR model coilovers. Good luck

Philadelphia have mean street. Full of potholes, so I am going to need something durable and strong with a good ride to withstand these potholes.

What type of speed shops are you looking for and what type of work are you looking to get done? Theres Elite Imports in Philly. They pretty much can get you anything. Just talk to Nick.

Welcome! I would start by removing the sticker on your trunk lid. After that, look into suspension upgrades. Decide how low you want to go, what options you want, and go from there. If you're only looking for a moderate drop, a good spring/shock combo may be all you need. Coilovers are nice, but expect to pull them off for the winter. I know some people grease the threads, but I don't know how well that works, or how long it lasts. Do your homework before making purchases, and you should do just fine. Good luck with your build.
