What are you using your car for? Are you going to go autocrossing or circuit racing with it? Are you going to use it as a daily driver? Do you care about ride quality? And the most important, what kind of budget are you on?

Without knowing any of that I would suggest getting some Moton 3-way adjustibles and some Eibach custom springs.

well im using it everyday... but i the ride quality isnt too important... the adjustables i can always get... but i want good stiff ride with handling... but i wanna be able to lift it during the winter... summer is when ill drop it... the budget... i would like to be reasonable, i dont wanna go over bored....

as a daily driver i think i have the best set up... kyb shocks front and rear, eibach pro kit, thats a 1.3 inch drop so its nice an clean.. if you care about performance i say get an upgraded sway bar such as an itr sway bar ect... hope i helped

Well, I personally have some Koni yellows on adjustable coils right now. And I do every other couple of days driving(not necessarily daily) and the ride quality is awesome. Although I will eventually upgrade to Ground Controls for better spring rates and getting adjustable top hats, I will still recommend Konis to start off with if anything. Be prepared that they are not cheap though, but you never want to cheap out when it comes to stuff like this dude
