shark racing sells their shark racing springs that are either 1.6 or 2 inch drop, they also sell b&g that offer a 2 inch drop as well. but for anything lower you will need to go with coilovers or air.

interestingly enough, the shark racing springs are made by B&G too... as in, they're the same thing. So there's no point in paying the extra $20 for the "B&G" ones if you get it from shark racing

im not sure if you will be able to do a 2 inch drop with 17's, but if you do the 1.6 you will deffinately need to roll the fenders. if you plan on going with 17's i would suggest a more modest drop like the one you get with the eibach springs.
