How aggressive do you want your drop to be?

Bring it to AZ and ill drop that ass....your car I mean
Any spring with a 2.0 inch drop front and 2.5 rear is good.Not too low,not too high.All youll need is basic hand tools and a spring compressor for the front
The front will take about an hour or so,Rear takes like 2 minutes flat.

You could try Ebay but I wouldn't lol

A guy bought some cheap Ebay springs and found out that they were hollow on the inside. Not good, especially when I find out after they break on your car.

But if it's from a reputable dealer, then go for it. I bought mine from Modern-performance since it was closer to my house

Welcome! and what these guys are saying :P a good drop would be eibach sprotlines or H&R sport springs. I run the H&R's and they are great (looks good and handle great).
I would stay away from ebay, and I dont think there are any yellow springs, could be wrong though. You could always paint them (although the spring compressors will hurt that ( and there is a way around that hahahaha..as in when re installing with lower springs you dont HAVE to use the compressors :P)). Powdercoat would hold up longer, although im not sure if heating the springs will have a neg effect on them.
And you can see the rear springs when approaching the car, not much and not for long, but yellow could be cool
