Default What lowering springs to get?

I am thinking of lowering my car. I have 18's on right now. I don't want any rubbing issues, just a nice looking, better handling car. I don't know much about brands or how low to go. Any suggestions?

FRPP/Eibach pro kit in my opinion. Seem to be the most common.

I went with sportline and have no issues with rubbing with 20x10s. So it kinda depends on your situation are the roads real crappy where you live, does your driveway have real bad dip, ya know stuff like that. if you are not sure then the pro kit is a happy middle ground.

Did any of you have an increase in road noise after you installed the lowering kits? My buddy installed the eibachs and the car seems to be louder inside the cabin now when cruising down the higway.

Depends on how low you want to go and if you want to level the car out or keep the jacked up look.
I went with the BMR springs, the drop is F-1.25"/ R-1.75".
FRPP/Eibach, BMR, Roush, Steeda, you can't go wrong with any of them.
Here is a pic to help you ee whats what.
