What kind of drop are you looking for?

I have Eibachs which are 25mm lower than the VRS standard suspension. I wouldn't go lower, most especially if you keep the standard dampers. For handling, you need damper upgrade to make the most of it and a RARB to rebalance the handling.

 

To do a proper job it needs the dampers to match the springs and a RARB. Change out the front top mounts at the same time as the originals have had over a decade of the suspension hammering any compliance out of them.

 

Fitting is likely to cost a few hundred unless you can get a deal from a tuner/garage. AP springs/dampers is probably a cost effective option.
