i would say that h&r's with agx's is a regular setup, it is fairly reasonably priced and it is better than the gr2's since you can sofen the ride for everyday driving......
but there is noting wrong with gr2's either, but i would stick with h&r's either way..... |

That's a great deal. Eibach doesn't drop very much though.
Will a AAS bodykit kit with dropzone springs? or will it be way to close to the ground?

Just so you guys know, handling and a good ride don't go hand in hand when swapping springs. If you want it to handle better, you'll want the stiffer springs, but it'll be a stiffer ride. If you want a more comfortable ride, stick with the springs that are less stiff, but then it won't handle as well.
That's all I ever hear on here is "Oh my car rides terrible with my lowering springs." It's not a "terrible" ride, they're supposed to be stiff like that. I personally like a how a car rides with stiff springs, and I prefer a stiffer ride and the handling that comes with it over mushy, "comfortable" suspension.

 Firmer than stock is better!
If you want a handling upgrade but don't want all the roughness, just get the sway bars. That is what I have on mine. Until 11/16/2011 or 100,000 miles (whichever comes first)

Why the date, do the bars 'go bad' after awhile?

I got Sprint's. They're awesome. And roads do suck, but in all honesty, if you're not an idiot, they're fine and drop awesomely.

I personally find the eibach drop fine.
However, If you plan on staying kit-less, then go low as you can IMO  |
