If you want the top of the tires to sit flush with the bottom of the fender, get the h&r race springs. If thats too low, I would suggest the h&r sport springs. I have had both sets on different cars and cant complain about either. I would look up pics of the 2 on your car and compare.

The rears wont sit flush, just so you know. Will have around a finger gap.

You need shocks that are designed to accomodate for the reduced shock travel. If you are on a budget, I suggest kyb agx. Those have adjustable dampening as well, which is a plus.

Oh yeah, just to give you an idea. Here is mine with the h&r race springs.

I dont have a picture close up of the car on the sport springs as they aren't on the car anymore, but you get the idea.
