What are some good brands? I'm not sure how far i want to lower it yet bc i'm not sure what size rims I'm eventually going to go with and I don't want to be riding around on tiny tires. So If you could throw up some brands and even sites to get them from it'd be very helpful thanks!

i have tanabe df210's and they are awesome. they arent super bouncy and they ride really nice. you can pick them up fairly cheap at wesellcarparts.com. i think they are the best

I've had tein s-techs, and hotchkis......
teins were low and i bottomed out a lot, but they rode great...
hotchkis aren't as low, yet still look good, but they ride a lil rough to me...

I have tein s techs
With my stockies, I scrape/bottom out a few places, but nothing major... and I do mean NOTHING major... like a paper cut, okay? And for the SEXY AND IMPRESSIVE 2 inch drop, the ride is pretty nice. I was thoroughly impressed with these springs.... thoroughly.
I plan to move to 18's.... I can't wait.

First thanks for everyone's input! After looking pretty hard all day and looking at what everyone had to say, I finally decided on Tanabe NF210 Lowering Springs. A few people told me that if I wanted to go with 18" rims I couldn't lower the car to far or i would have to have tiny rubber band tires. So I went with less of a drop. Thanks everyone again!

dont be sorry, go s-techs. i have 18"s and s- techs and its almost too high.
the stock height of the tc is way too high, the wheel well gap is enormous, you gotta go at least 2" to make it look good. and i dont ride on rubber bands either, i have 35 series tires(2" thick) and i still have 1" of tire to fender clearance in the front and 1.5" clearance in the back.
s-techs FTW!!!!!!!
