Seeing as how the car is riding way too high, and they are sport shocks.

Default how low do you want to go?

Eibachs would be the closest drop to the &lt;correct&gt; OEM sport height.

Race Springs would just be too low IMO

I think Neuspeed sport springs are about an inch lower then sport and dont require new shocks

Default Well..if I'm gonna go aftermarket, I want lower than OEM sport

And I know I'll eventually have to replace teh shocks

I don't mind if they erode quickly, I just don't want a crappy ride now

Default Inch lower than sport?

That would be slammed (well..not for MY sport)


I'd like to be at like 1.5 fingers all around
2 fingers max

Default go Neuspeed Sport springs

you can probably go with your sport shocks and then replace them when they wear out but the ride will not be as good as a matched set of Bilstein or Koni shocks.

eibach springs will lower a bit less than neuspeed if that is what you are looking for.
