I had a set of eibach sportlines. very low I loved it. The ride was good though. They were supposed to drop it fr 1.7 and rear 1.5. I think mine was lower than that.

I have Tokico Blue's and Ground Control Coilover's. Had it sitting on the ground, rear lip was an inch from the ground and the tires were tucked. (literally) but I couldn't get the jack out.

but I have it sitting right on the tires now.

If you're concerned about ride quality but want a low drop, try Koni yellows with Neuspeed Race springs. On my car it closes the wheel gap completely in the front and almost completely in the rear, and the ride is buttery smooth. The progressive spring absorbs bumps with ease; only on some big potholes and uneven pavement will it start to get bumpy. You won't get nearly as good a ride on any coilovers. Only problem is you'll have trouble getting into some bad driveways and ramps but that's a given problem with any low drop.

I was actually on stock shocks when I was that low. Now I do not advise to stay on stock shocks, at the time the car had cut springs on stock shocks so I took out the cut ones and put in the eibachs.

I wanted to use kyb agx's. I am not sure why my car sat so low though. but I am positive I was using eibach sportlines.
