Question Lowering springs?

I'm looking at dropping but not slammed to the ground. A solid drop (not crazy) is good for me, along with a comfortable ride. Any suggestions such as springs or coilovers? I'm on 17's

thx

if your on a super budget, 125 will get you tt suspension. it drops like 0.5~1inch and handling is much tighter
