Eibach pro-kits will lower it nicely without being 'slammed' and still give you increased handlign over stock and not too harsh a ride over stock. Remember the lower you go the higher the spring rates you'll want to prevent bottoming out and that can mean a harsher ride. The higher spring rates should be matched to appropiate performance dampers like Koni Yellows, or a less expensive alternative is the Tokico Illuminas. If you stock shocks are worn, you could very just get Koni Special 'Reds' to match the prokits; no need fot he yellows or illuminas for the prokits.

I suppose you could go H&R sports and Koni Sport 'Yellow' dampers, a lot of people like this setup very much a little lower than the Prokits and not all that much harsher.

Lowered it 2", if you think its too low then raise it up a bit. If its still high for you, lower it a bit lower. Easy as that and the lower you go the harder it is to drive it.
