NAME BRAND lowering springs n a good camber kit. dont get some cheap ass ebay coilovers n no camber kit at all. generally springs will give you a nice stiffer ride with great balance. neuspeed, skunk 2, and tien make great products.

Easiest: Remove springs

Second easiest: Chicken wings in backseat + windows down + fat chicks near your car

Third easiest: bags of cement in the trunk

Cheapest: Cut springs

Cheap: Ebay lowering springs

Not Cheap: Good lowering springs

F*cking expensive: Full coilovers

kyb gr2 shocks are nice. they arent adjustable but they hold up well to stiffer lowering springs. you can also look into tokigo blues, or even the monroe or gabrial struts u can get at advance or autozone. any aftermarket strut is going to hold up better to the extra stress the stiffer/lower springs are going to create.

Struts are real hit or miss, I've been lowered on stock struts for two years and they still work like champs.
