H&R, why? I don't know anyone else who has them. Depends on what drop your looking for.

Tanabe DF210 (2" drop), Progress (1.7" drop), Tanabe NF210 (1.4" drop)

H & R for a little higher performance value.

All in stock in my store.

Take a look at Megan Racing as well. I haven't lowered my car yet but I have installed all of the chassis braces the offer with great results. I would not hesitate to use thier springs.

Oh yeah anything Garm sells, he'll point you in the right direction.

You have a LB, so the only tricky bit will be getting to the bolts on your front shocks. You'll have to take off your wipers and the plastic between your window and the hood. Air tools would be a good idea here. I suggest you have someone who knows cars do it for you.

Because I don't want to lower my suspension too much, but would like better handling/cornering without sacrificing comfort....Eibach Pro-Kit is my choice.
