your question is vauge and it sucks, search around look at other peoples setup's read what they got, then find out what you want to do with your car then come back with a clearer question and some one will help you

At least tell us what the hell your planning on doing with the car. Different setups are best for different tasks. Are you tracking the car, autox, drag, or do you just want a comfortable daily driven type of suspension.....

if you just want your car to look good by droping it, id just get some ground control coilovers and lower it as much as you want.

if its within your budget you might want to grab some shocks while your at it. KYB AGX, Tokico Illumina's or Koni Yellows.

really depends on your budget..
i personally think basic level coilovers are pretty good for daily driving.. such as Tein Basic or SS.. they cost a bit more than a shock/spring combo..
if you are looking for shock/spring combo.. then search.. there are numerous choices.. as listed above.. common ones are agx, illumina, yellow etc..
