Proper drop is opinion unless you define what you are looking for.
Not to flame, but there are suspension recommendations all over HT, by search. Different for different uses and cars.

From rules above:

Tips for having your questions answered quickly and thoroughly:

1. Remember to include any information relevant to your question - e.g., the vehicle you are working with (year, make, model, doors, trim level), your budget, the purpose for which you use your car, and/or your motivation for modification.

2. More background information almost always helps. For example: What suspension products have you had experience with in the past? If you're having a problem, when does it occur and what symptoms are evident?

3. If you're having a problem with your car, try to at least check it out for yourself first. Since we cannot look at your vehicle in person, you have to inspect it for anything that looks unusual and report it back.

4. Posts should be written in English with a reasonable attempt at proper spelling and grammar. This is not your text messaging service. If you refuse to take the time to type out words and form complete thoughts and sentences, then don't be surprised if you get more replies criticizing your writing skills than helping with your question. I will not pity you.

5. Use the search function before asking any question. It is easy to use, thorough, and powerful. Here are some examples of topics that have been asked and answered here countless times:

- reputable suspension product brands
- rear disc brake conversions
- suggested spring rates
- sway bar mounting
- coilovers vs. lowering springs
- compatible suspension parts among models

inexpensive and stiff as f*** are skunk2 coilovers. (about $600)
a lot of people on h-t will tell you to go with the ground control/koni yellow combo though. (about $900)

Skunk2 is stiff and sometimes bouncy, what I don't like about mine.

Koni/gc will get you stiff, and not bouncy, at least my friends isn't, runing 600lb front and 500lb rear.
