just depends on how much money you want to spend:
1/2 ass($50-$200)=Springs
3/4ass($300-$600)=springs and tokico blues
1ass($700+++++)=Full blown coilovers

you may also want to think of camber kit($200 =/-) and also an alignment ($70+/_)

What do you expect out of the car? Is it a daily driver or weekend car? Drag or road racing?

As of right now it is a daily driver, but when i get a closer job im gonna make it somewhere between a daily driver and a road racer.

How low do you want to go? By this, I mean do you know how to drive?

JM i am running basically a Ground Controll coilover kit with tokiko blues on my EG and i have it pretty low. My car is pretty stripped so it rides a little rough but its really responsive and it seems to hook up pretty good also. Also i am rocking 17's right now and i know if i was on 15's it would ride ALOT smoother (because my EF has a similar set up and rides smooth an its on 16's)

here is front shot of how the car sits on 17's

How much did that run you chris? Looks nice, how well does it take speed bumps lol.. How many inches is that lowered from stock, so i got some kind of idea.

that set up is probley in the 500.00 range for either SK2 coilovers or GC coilovers and 4 struts. The car clears speed bumps no problem at all even with the lip and it's probley lowered atleast 3-3 1/2 inches
