There are a million choices for lowering, the FRPP K springs are a pretty good choice if you want to lower 1.5", which is a bit on the aggressive side IMHO

things to think about for lowering:
  • how low do you want to go -- what are the roads like in your area? generally 1" is pretty safe, 1.5" is getting a bit aggressive, more than that is quite aggressive
  • do you want stiffer suspension or just lower? most lowering springs are stiffer than stock, but there are some that are similar to stock
  • stiffer springs need more damping to go with them, so you generally want new struts/shocks to go with them
  • lowering does cause some geometry issues, such as increased negative camber, rear axle will move off center . . . you can ignore these issues or correct them with more new parts
try some searches on the main 2005-2009 forum and you'll find lots of threads on lowering; and if you have specific questions not answered by those other threads you can post a new thread for those questions

Nice car. I used Steeda sport springs on my 08. They give a nice drop. I would like to be a little lower but I have enough issues already with speed bumps and angled driveways.
