I don't recommend putting lowering springs on stock shocks. But I do have a used Eibach Pro-Kit for sale. Pictures in my signature thread.

I ran neuspeed sport springs for awhile. The shocks held up well until now. Im actually looking to sell them also. Around 10k miles on them.

for a drop on stock shocks I'd go with Tein S.techs. They are a 1.5/1.3 drop and are designed to work with stock shocks (according to Tein)

Photobucket must have glitched, I'll fix it.

I had the Eibachs on my Lude for 40 or 50 thousand miles. Nice ride and 1.3" drop. As for mine, one of the rear springs sags causing the drop on that corner to be more like 2.5 inches. It actually resulted in my tire being tucked. But you might be able to replace one spring fairly cheap. The kit new will cost you about $300+tax.

EDIT: Ok, the pictures are fixed. Apparently, Photobucket suddenly became case-sensitive in their URLs. Odd.
