Are you planning on doing any tracking with your car? Or will this just be daily driven?

How low are you looking to go? Moderate drop of 1" or less front/rear? Or more? Are you RWD?

Honestly, there seems to be a slight difference in opinion on here, but IMHO, based on what you're looking for which is moderate improved aesthetics/drop and minimal change in comfort, provided your car doesn't have too many miles on the shocks, I would PM Josh Meraki (he commented on this thread) and have him get you the RSR Half downs, I haven't found anyone else outside of unknown Ebay vendors that give as competitive prices. They have IMO a perfect drop, and it is so moderate that they should have very little difference in your ride quality, camber should be within spec, and you don't "need" any other changes. Save the money and just get those. Your car will look tastefully dropped, have minimal hit on your wallet, and save your money for other upgrades. Several members on here have done half downs with great results, there is even a thread started with people that put their pics of how their cars look with half-downs.

The half downs will also even out the front/rear wheel gap.

You should search the threads for pictures on different springs.
When I was researching I saw that half downs didn't lower enough if at all.
I went with the down springs which I think is perfect.
Super downs were too dumped for me.

Just something to keep in mind before pulling the trigger.

Good luck!
