Go with the Eibach and Bilstein combo.

you sure you want coilovers? a good spring/strut combo like darkknight said might be a more economical choice and you only want a slight drop.

I recommend some Tanabe DF210 if you want to close up the wheel gap.

Or for a 1" drop, get the eibach springs.

Couple of things:

- I have a set of Teins on my ride that I'm going to swap out so mine will be on sale for $800 sometime between Thanksgiving and X-mas. Product at $800 + install of about $500 = $1,300. Upgrading to the JIC VIP's as a X-mas present.

- If you're going to the shock/spring route, the best set up I've felt for ride and profile is Tanabe NF210 w/KYB shocks. Profiles well, rolls nice, feels sporty.

- There are a LOT of threads on set up that you'll want to research on CL, but at the end of the day it comes down to coilovers vs. shock/springs. Take a look around and you'll find the right set-up.
