you have options .. Springs , Coilovers , and air ..

If you want simple ride and not being able to lower any more ... springs .. not sure how ride quality is thou ..

coilovers are the next best step ... search Tein , JIC , ect other brands

and air.. to get the look you want and ride where you want too .. enuff said .

coilover is basically a shock absorber with coil springs encircling it and they're adjustable in height and ride quality

offsets determine whether you need to roll/pull/shave your fenders
