you need to give us more info than that.

how low are you looking to drop it?
what is the purpose of the car? ( DD,autoX, etc.)
budget?

Tein SS-P seems to be the favorite for DD.
Theirs Tanabe Sustec Pro as well.
Megan Racing seems to be good for price as well.

But out of all 3, I'd got with the Tein SS-P.

if you gonna go with tanabe, i believe you have to get the 02-04 bearings so it will fit the stock top mount...i don't think they make it so it will fit 05-06 type-s

and again Tein SS for $1108.. its worth it...the ride is great, performance is great..taking the corners is a breeze now..its better then stock of course..

iono about Ksports..haven't heard much about them

you can try Megan Street Coilovers. They are good for Daily Driving too. They cost liek 800 or 900 bux. but if you do get the megans..you gotta grease the bearings up top so it won't make the popping sound. other then the popping, (which can be fixed, as stated the sentence before) its a great coilover step up for the price and quality of the megans.

O yea..at crsx.com..many would recommend Megan Street Coilovers for DD and the price.
