Are you looking for just the springs or the whole coilover? There are a few different brands available, but a lot depends on what you are looking for. How important is ride comfort to you? Lowering your car also means you might run into ground clearance problems especially if you intend to fit a bodykit in future.

I use to use Eibach in my previous car and I found it pretty comfy and hard enough at the same time... ( are they called progessive springs? )... Does the brand still exist?
Dun wish to have springs that are too hard, would prefer to maintain some comfort level, main idea is to drop the car's height by about 1-2 inch... Any brands good for recommendation?
Wat are coilovers btw... :D
