Best size lowering springs for a daily/drift car?
 
I recently got some 18x8 squared Raijins and it's too high so I was looking to drop it a bit. What would be the best size springs to keep the car functional on the road while also being good for drifting? I know coils are best but I just don't see me needed them at the moment. I've had my eye on the Eibach Pros.

Also, is there anything else that anybody would recommend that I absolutely upgrade when drifting an 86? Mainly stuff that has a tendency to break. I'm still pretty new so I'm thrashing it a little bit

Edit: I do have the '17 PP with SACHS dampers

Drifting you say?
All you need is practice and tires. After enough of that any nut can do that.

Stuff only brakes when you hit stuff. So make sure not to hit stuff like curbs or walls. I recommend you don't be _____ and keep it off public roads. Go to race tracks.

Worse case you snap an axle.

Loweing spring wise, Eibachs (aka TRD) are perfectly fine for that compromise.

There's an old abandoned NFL stadium parking lot that I've been using to practice when it rains. I'm down to be a jackass but not when it puts others at risk. Thanks for the advice!

Clutch/shift fork.
When the clutch finally lets go.

Most of the other stuff should hold up ok unless you hit something.
