Eibach. They are made in SoCal by a modern factory on CNC machines. A million mile warranty, Too. They are totally in he spring business, not just for cars. I saw Eibach springs on the gondola of a ski lift I rode on last winter.

If money is not a concern, go with Coilovers.

if you are on a budget go with H&R springs or Eibach you cannot go wrong with either of them.

^ agreed. both Eibach and H&R are among the best manufacturers.

if possible, do it all at once and get coilovers. you'll get the ride height you want right away.

I can't agree more. I've always regretted spring drops and will only get coilovers from now on in order to get the perfect drop. The only thing I'll add is that KW, Koni, and Bilstein are also among the best suspension manufacturers.

I saw that Achtuning is having a sale on H&R coilovers, they seem to have them priced lower than anyone else currently. I'd do coils rather than just springs, you'll end up replacing struts down the road, best to do it right the first time.
