I heard the ground control style "coilovers" arent that good. I've had a few friends with them and they regret it now.
If your only looking for a small drop, i would go with just springs that work with your OEM shocks.
If your looking for a much larger drop, i would suggest investing in springs+shocks.

anything over 2.5" drop is to much unless you have EXTREMELY flat roads with no speed bumps. Don't waste money on cheap springs since they don't cost a whole lot (springs alone) I'd stick to something with a quality reputation, H&R OE springs give you a better performance ride and about .5-.75" drop for around $200 ish... Anything over that and you may need to get camber plates as well
