Cheap dropzones full coilovers i hear they give an okay ride.
skunk2 full coilovers are pretty stiff but handle great!
tokico blues or koni yellow's with ground control coilovers.

tokico blues are a little firmer then stock and ride quite nice
koni yellow's are fully adjustable so you can tune your suspension
ground control coilovers are made to fit serveral shocks, so they
mate well with the blues and yellows for a comfort ride that's semi
or fully adjustable.

check around on the marketplace or craigslist or even ebay.
don't skimp on suspension, you get what you pay for... save up some
more and you'll be happier in the long run.

I'd go with ground control coilovers which come with Eibach springs. and I think you can order custom springs rates too. then just get some nice shocks. I've heard alot of good things about ground control.

Ksport is good. skunk2 is ok. and dont forget about TEIN! But IMO i like gettin a shoch/ strut of your choice,a nd doing coilover sleeves. Of course as for coilovers ground control all the way. But do your research on shocks. Tokico Whites are sweet, KYBs are just as good if not better. and Koni is on top of the food chain IMO. There a bit pricy tho. And of course Tein again.

I would be nervous unless buying from a reputable seller.

I bought my ground controls straight from the companys website when I had mine.

blues are actually horrible for drops, more of OE replacement shocks.
