    Are you just looking to lower the car as much as possible? Coils will probably help you do that better than springs.

    As for recommendations, KW V3's are one of the best setups you can get. Coincidentally, I've got a set for sale haha PM me if you're interested.

    Eibachs have

    Prokits and Sportlines

    Sportlines give the most drop springs situation


    OP - if your looking to slam best to invest on coils

    Lots of thread here talking about Spring/shocks vs Coils

    Sportlines really aren't a good match for the Speed3. They are too soft. If you just want low sure go ahead. But if you want to lower the car and not destroy the handling of the car, then either get quality coilovers, or don't go so low. Go with a better matched spring like a Swift Spec R, add a matched set of shocks Bilstein, thne get an 18*8.5 or 17*9 wheel, add a large tire - 245/40/18 or 255/40/17 .
