I got some Neuspeed springs for sale. 1.75 inch fronts and 1.5 inch rear for the drop, and you could use your stock shocks without them blowing fast. let me know

If you are leaning towards springs rather than coilovers, you may want to look into TEIN S-Tech springs or H&R Race Springs if you want a drop >1".

Thank you both

The S-Tech springs dropped me about 1.75" all around. Granted I've never measured it, but it's something like that. The TEIN website says they are good for dropping a car 1.5", but I feel like mine is lower

I went with H&R Sport Springs over the stock struts. After settling, I noticed about an 1.25" drop. I didn't want anything more than that as the roads in South Tampa suck. IMO, the drop I have gives the car a nice aggressive "hunkered down" look.

Yeah that's the whole lip kit.

The rims in gun-metal look awesome!
