prokit, perfect reduction in fender gap and will be perfect for winter. approx a 1.3-1.4 inch drop all teh way around. says 1.3-1.4, i'd say it's more like 1.4-1.5 IMO

H&R sport and whatever shocks you can afford seems to be the best solution for most ppl.

well it depends on how you define "best" which you have to specify (note I haven't read the other response I will later)

if best is the best bang for the buck will be different from the best money can by and usage is also important is this car for the track only shows only or street only or track and street or show and street... define the parameter then I'll give you a suggestion
