I want to lower it 1-1.5 inches.

Is heel toe auto a good place to get parts?

^yes Marcus @ Heeltoeauto has great customer service! Check out H&R sport springs! Drop is 1.4" frnt 1.3" rear. Another good spring is Tein S-Tech.

I second the H&R springs. Eibach is great, too

Dont get eibach if your 6mt, the drop will be uneven. Ask me how I know lol
Id still recommend going with coilovers...just so you have flexibility and can change the height later on. Its worth the extra $300 imo
I have the ht spec v1...the tein street advance are a good deal as well

The diameter of the wheel well doesn't help the 'uneven' effect on the eyes, for sure. This can be solved with Koni Yellows, though, because they are height adjustable. I think I paid $750 for my Konis and Eibachs. The only coilovers you can get for that money are garbage, IMO. If you're just looking for an even drop on the stock shocks, go with the H&R. I've had them before on different cars and never had an issue.

I'm usually an advocate of coilovers as well, but if you're sure you don't want to go that route, or it's not in your budget, after seeing the way the Tein S-Tech springs looked on Tyler's (CLtotheTL32) car, my vote is for them.

I have H&R 1.4/1.3 on my 08 tls and that's all you need. Wheels never went out of spec. I can't post pics yet but you can see it in my garage.
