Either H&R Sport springs if you want low or Eibach Pro Springs if you want a little more subtle.


As you have an SE you really want to be changing out the shockers. I would go for some msport shock absorbers

I would almost certainly NOT go for m sport shoock absorbers. They are under damped and many m sport owners complain of the suspension being crashy. M sport suspension is nowhere near satisfactory.

If you want a cheap but reasonable upgrade you could get a set of lowering springs, like Eibach, and go for Bilstein B4s dampers. They are OE replacementss but slightly better quality. I wouldn't use the SE dampers with lowering springs.

If you want something better than that, say for performance, then Koni yellows are good dampers too.

But it really depends why you want to upgrade? Do you do any track days? Spirited driving? You want a drop, you want comfort or performance etc, need to know all these things to decide what is a good option.
