Default New box, and looking for some help!!!

Ok, so these little things have a way of catching your eye, so I just had to get one. I think the week wait is going to kill me thou, so in the down time I need some upgrades. Coming from a mini truck background, we just slam'em, bag'em and drag'em. Not really what i am looking to do with the box. So any ideas? Would coilovers or spring be better, and what would have a better ride, oh and we have to be lowered.What drop with 18" rims would be good without to many probelms. Just trying to get my ducks in a row before my new toy arrives.

Coilovers will ride better but cost more. Springs do nicely and cost much less.

Most of the springs will give around a 2 inch drop which is pretty nice. You can go lower on coilovers. The only problems that seem to come up is if you are going lower than this or bigger than 18" But nothing that can't be dealt with...

I'm dropped 2 inches on Gold-Line Springs and 17 inch wheels...
