1" drop with Eibach Pro-Kit w/ stock dampers. ~0.8" drop RCE yellow springs w/ stock dampers. About $250 for spring hardware.

Seems like the only available aftermarket dampers are the Koni yellow inserts at the moment. About $600 for four inserts. Need to cut/modify front OEM struts to make things work.

Cheap coilovers start at about $1000 and you basically get what you pay for. More expensive coilovers options go up to $3000 and beyond.

There's additional stuff that should/needs to be done with camber/alignment that will cost more money if you want to do things right.

I'm in a similar situation as you, but i already have my new wheels on. I also have my springs and Konis ready to be installed. Too bad the car looks so much cooler with the 1-2" drop, right?
