Both the Tein and Eibach kits are well-known and have decent reputations from what I've read. Do a search in the suspension section for reviews and spring rates. I caution you about lowering springs, though. They will dramatically reduce the life of your OEM damper. If you're concerned about having the car for a while, it might not hurt to go with replacing full coilovers.

It all depends on how low you want to go. Small drop or Big Drop?

get coils man it is the best deal in the long run. if you dont wanna spend much either get the Tein basics, or get Tokico D-spec shocks with Tein springs...seems to be very popular

If you want a good drop and a reliable suspension, go with a full coilover. HKS and Tein are the big names, but there's a few others. If you want to stay under $1000, go with Tein Basic coilovers or Tein springs (like #2 above) with Tokico D-spec dampers. If you can only spend a couple hundred bucks, either Tein or Eibach Pro-kit springs (#2 and #3 above) are your best bet. As mentioned above, there have been issues with counterfeit Tein springs on Ebay. I think the only difference you'd have to worry about between the two is the amount of drop you want.
