What are your plans? What's your budget?
Usually when lowering a car is recommended to get new shocks.
How much you wanna spend on shocks?
Also how lowered you want your car?
Lot of people chose stranos.
On mine I have stranos with bilsteins shocks. And some other suspension parts. Drives good. And looks good.

Nothing to expensive but in a decent price range. I have the SLP Catback on it now and headers sitting in garage waiting to go on.
I don't want to like slam it on the ground, just bring it down some.

Your gonna need shocks and an adjustable panhard bar. If you just want to improve handling shocks will do more than springs if your still running the stockers. Decarbons suck. Budget strano/bilstein. No budget strano/koni.
