general consensus around here for mild drop and awesome handling is Eibach Pro-kits. they seem to offer the best handling. Match them with tokico 5 way adjustables and you should be all set...

Yup, what he said. Eibach prokits are one of the most versatile springs. Not that low, but enough to give it that aggressive look, with great handling. If your going the economical way, just use Tokico Blues. I have that combo and they work fine. Or if you have the money, go with the adjustables.

also.. if you really dont want to lower it that much.. look into the H&R OE Sport springs.. i think they are like 1in drop.. but are stiffer than stock and whats not.
