i understand you're not looking for a track set up or some racecar-level type of stuff. my bad for not offering a suggestion... but by the time i read this thread you had already just gotten a set of springs so i figured theres no point in trying to suggest other springs yet.

if you want adjustable coilovers later down the road, i highly recommend ST. they're around 800-900 depending on vendor and thats usually including shipping costs too. rides "better" than stock imo, but still allows you to go lower than a set of 1" drop springs and handles great too since it allows you to adjust camber a little up front. Tein Flex Z's should also be available in a few months and those seem to be a great alternative too.

ftspeedfactory.com is the cheapest I've found. Make sure you get full struts and not inserts(unless that's what you really want), some sites are not always clear aside from the actual part numbers.

Koni yellows are rebound adjustable, not compression.
