Congrats and welcome to CL.if your trying to stay within the 1-1.5 lowering range i would say just look into springs try searching through the link below to give you a good idea of different drops of springs and ride quaility.

Welcome! F-Sport, H&R, or S-Techs are all good springs

Welcome to CL! I always recommend coilovers, but if your only looking for an inch drop or so, i would go with f-sport springs or Tein.

Welcome to CL. As for springs I would reccomend H&R or Road Magnet.

coils if you have the $$ otherwise F-sport seems to be a good choice.

If you live in snow, get coils, youll be able to raise it and lower it according to weather, can be quiet tough cutting through snow on a 2" drop... other than that WELCOME to CL. Your #1 thread is going to be "post pics of your car RIGHT now"!
