Adjustable Coilovers are giong to give you the best ride no doubt but they are expensive. You have use lowering springs if you want to do it the cheap way but the ride isnt going to be as good.

An air ride is better than coilovers . But You should just be good with eibach prokits and tokiko blues for struts for a awesome drop and under 500bucks.

Or you can just get the tokiko spring and blue struts for your drop and thats all you would need . They come in a set off of ebay for under 400bucks shipped. Springs and struts is all you need for a nice drop and a decent priced drop.

If your on a budget, go for the Tokico HP Blues struts and Eibach Prokit springs for a great combination.

Do you necessarily need new struts? Wouldn't springs be enough for a good and better ride quality?

By the way, how many inches you planning to drop pacman?

On Stock struts, they weren't really meant for lowering springs, ride quality and strut longevity is compromised.

If you want a good ride quality and a nice longevity of your suspension, you should invest in a strut setup that will take a decent lowering spring.

I don't want a drop as much as I want ride quality and handling (why I am investing in coil-overs)
