Default Best springs?

I want ot lower my car but keep the performance.

1. What are the best springs for this?

2. What are the best bang for the buck springs for this?

3. Website to get these springs

4. How low can you go before rubbing on stock wheels/tires, AP2

5. How much these springs lower our car.

Thanks!

I have Eibach Pro-kit. Nice lowering and performance was enhanced. great mod

You'll probably get a lot of opinions on this. Tein's are suposed to be good as well.

I'd say both Espelir and KG/MM are your best bet for only springs.
They are both progressive rate springs meaning the rate increases as they are compressed. The KG/MM race springs that I have lower the car about 1.5" I believe I think its 35mm which is plenty of drop.

I have the Espelir and it drop the S about 1.3-1.5 in after the settle. It looks great and ride is very similar to stock.
