eibach springs.. if you go coilovers most go with the PSS9, GC (ground control), Tein, or TC Kline. If you will be tracking a lot, I'd say GC or TC Kline.

as for spacers go with Rogue or H&R. i'm running 12mm all around on OEM ZCP. many also do 10mm all around , also 12mm front/10mm rear

As I recall 12 front / 10 rear is the best fit. Try a search, must be 500 threads on this.

To the OP,
I have Eibach Pro-Kit springs with stock shocks, plus 15mm front and 10mm rear spacers. If you want pictures let me know.
