You can't go wrong with brands like Koni, Bilstein and Tokico for struts and shocks. Make sure you buy a matching set if you are looking for improved handling.
We offer front coil over systems that work with most aftermarket struts. Our coil overs will allow you to fine tune your ride height plus or minus 2 inches and dial it in where you like it.
If you don't wan't to do a coil over kit, Eibach is always popular. If you use the Eibach Pro Kit (lowers the car about an inch), make sure you use the factory spring rubbers and isolators. If you use a polyurethane isolator the car won't sit as low as you may expect it to. They also offer the Sportline kit that lowers the car about 2 inches.
Lastly, don't forget the details. You will need adjustable caster camber plates to get the correct alignment so you not wear the inside shoulder of your front tires. You should replace the steering rack bushing with offset rack bushings if you lower the car dramatically. Also replace the sway bar end links. Inspect your ball joints, control arm bushings and outer tie rod ends at the time of install.
