Cody speaks the troof.

Keep in mind that *all* lowering springs will result in a compromised ride. If they're lower and/or stiffer, they will force the stock strut to work outside of it's originally designed geometry. This will result in the strut wearing out more quickly, and can result in worse handling than stock. To minimize the issues, liek Cody said, don't go with anything too low or too stiff. Granted if you're a bit lower, you need to be a bit stiffer to prevent bottoming out, but stay away from "dumping" the car and astronomical rates.

I think the H-Techs and GF210's are probably good choices... though I don't have any experience with them myself, I went with full coilovers to make sure to match my spring rate and strut properly.
