i just put Hotchkis Front/Rear Coils Drop:
Front - 1-3/8" (35mm)
Rear - 2-1/4" (57mm)
and i love them.. handles better and rides just as smooth

those r 18in wheels, and i lowered it yesterday, the more i drive it the more its starting to settle in

If you do lower your car, make sure to swap out the shocks/struts too, because the stock shocks/struts were meant to be used with the stock springs.

Also, you will need an alignment to correct the camber on your car, or else the insides of the tires will wear faster than the outside.
