i would go Megan Ez street coilovers. If your car is over 60k miles I would not put lowering springs over the shocks because they would most likely short term the life of ur shocks and blow them. Megan ez streets are very low cost and ride like stock, and they can go extremely low if thats what your into. ME? I used them for the stock ride quality with some 19's not too too low and I love them. GL

I had eibach sportlines on mine with 19's, decent drop, about 1.5" all around. A few months later though I switched to BC coilovers and wish I hadn't even spent the money on springs. I've heard good things about the ez streets and for the price, you can't beat that. I'd just skip the springs and get the coils, you won't regret it.

Thanks for your pics updated. I am planning on going to keep my original rims, so would they need to have wheel spacer or anything ... Do they look good with coil, i have not seen anyone has coil with original rims...
spring compressors are a PITA! Coil install took us no time in comparison.
