Coilovers , you car seems to be set for the track with the tow hook , racing seat and all. So either live with the way the springs you bought are set, get a diffferent set or get coilovers. Coilovers would be your best choice since it looks like you track your car.

+1. There is a write-up around here somewhere. You could read it and decide whether this is the choice for you or not....

No, it's just a big piece of plastic-reinforced rubber that the upper spring "mates" with rather than just going metal-to-metal. You cut down some of the base (I used a saws-all on mine) and put it back on. It's painless.

However if you do this along with lowering springs, I recommend a rear camber kit to prevent your tires from being eaten up unevenly.
