For that I would recommend tokico illumina's with ground control. Check Ebay and make sure that the ground controls are for the illumina's.

skunk2 slip over coilovers w/ illuminas or ground control coilovers w/ illuminas.

Sk2's setup will be a bit stiff but perfect for a DD with intentions of spirited driving. The ground controls is perfect if your looking just for a nice drop with a oem quality like ride.

look in the sponsers thread...

i would buy the coilovers used and buy the shocks new, saves you a little $$$. Both sets of coilovers should run anywhere from $80-$200 used. I found my Sk2 coilovers for $120 used. As for the illuminas your looking at $380-$430 depending on which shop you buy it from. You can also consider the kyb agx's or skunk2 sport shocks. I'd def. recommend the skunk2 sport shocks paired with the skunk2 coilovers if your looking to spend as little as possible while still maintaining quality parts.

research about spring rates, the higer the spring rates the worst ride quality gets.

the sponsor section has ground controls with koni yellows for $789 or so shipped. IMO it'd be worth the extra little bit.

Just so you know those are only height adjustable. The dampers are not adjustable. With the Koni/GC combination it's cheaper and you can fully adjust height and dampening.
