Or, how about Eibach progressive rate springs (Pro-Kit) with a 1.4" drop front, 1.2" drop rear? The car now handles better, the ride quality is still good (and that's saying something on Michigan roads), and I haven't scraped it yet going over speedbumps! I wouldn't want it much lower than it already is.

Love my Eibachs so far! And PA roads are no better than MI's, I can assure you!

Well, i haven't gotten any lowering springs yet, but i've heard good things about the Tein S-Tech springs. That's what i'm eventually going to get.

tein s-techs, i got them and i love them... i rode in a p5 with teh eibachs too, a little different not much. i liked the way the teins feel better then the eibachs plus its just a little more of a drop givin the car a better look, but not too much of a drop

s-techs are tuned more for the street, h-techs have a higher spring rate. If you don't plan on taking it to the track, s-techs are much more livible.
