The Steeda Ultra-lite springs are very good for street performance and "weekend race" applications.

Their shocks are OK, but I would rather have the Toicko D-spec shocks. The D-specs have the advantage of being adjustable. This means that you can fine-tune your settings to your driving style, conditions, and needs.

yeah it would fit and the springs would lower it about 1 1/4 inches in the back and 1 inch in the front and the lowering is not adjustable; rather the "stiffness" is. Meaning you can drive it on full soft, full hard or anything in between, but the height would remain the same.

It is a screw that you adjust by hand. It takes about 5 minutes to do all four. The front ones you get to by lifting the hood. The rears you can get to inside the trunk. VERY easy.

That's my combination, Steeda Ultralites and D-Specs. From the autobahn, through the neiborhood, to the track. Adjustments are limitless. You can't go wrong with this set up. I'd get some camber bolts ahead of time as well. You'll probably need them to get the allignment specs dialed in.

They're Eibach camber bolts part #81260 14mm. I called either Tire Rack or Discount Tire and they shipped them to me...$20. I just found them at Jegs.
