Default Good springs for an AP2?

What are some good springs for na AP2? I like the current ride but I think that the car would look great if it was lowered. This is an everyday driver. I would like to drop her about an inch or so. Do you guys have any advice on what to get? Will the new springs do any damage to the stock shocks over time?

Thanks,

well i've had the tein s-tech before, and they were fine. about 1 inch drop all the way around, and just a bit stiffer than stock.

now i'm looking into the comptech adjustables, because i do like the height adjustability while maintaining the OEM struts and shocks.

I recently added the Eibach Pro Kit. It lowered the car pefectly and I thought the stock handling was pretty good, but these springs improved both handling and steering feel of the car. It's not as twitchy and makes you feel more confident.

Very happy with this mod

I could take some pics if you want.

also with any sort of drop there will be more pressure onto the shocks so its life span will of course suffer....but with a 1 inch drop I don't believe it will decrease the shocks life that much.....or be like me get the koni shocks lifetime guarantee is very nice....

FWIW I have the H&R Sport Springs and love 'em. About an inch drop front and rear.

What is the going rate for all these? I like the idea of the adjustable springs. How hard are they to adjust?
