I strongly recommend going for a coil over vs a standard spring. The adjust-ability and ride comfort alone are worth the extra investment.

Get Tein best price for the best drop / look. Mine should be here Tuesday. Ive recommend them to other members who just love them. H&R's don't give that aggressive Stance that most members look for. Thats why they end up cutting one coil in the front.

H&R, eibachs, and other springs will have a stiffer ride than OEM so if you want comfort I'd recommend getting some OEM SS springs or teins. Teins are actually softer then the SS springs. The others will be stiffer but it'll make your car handle a lot better.

Yah, tell your tires, shocks and camber that you went cheap just because you wanted it to look cool and handle better. Your 240 rides high as compared to a sport model so dropping it lower is definitely going to have some adverse effects.
Springs are fine but not as a long term solution. IF you really want a spring solution, then I'd suggest H&R or Eibach. The Teins are definitely softer like Phister said.

You can always buy the SS springs and struts. But your camber will definitely be negative so I'd throw down some money for ghostriders camber kit.

You will still need camber kit. I recommend you get them from the sponsor here named Ghostrider@P1 Performance. His are great quality and the price is great too.
