What would be a good set of lowering springs? Right now the car has 4cyl springs in it.

pretty much anything would work then if you're going to sell it. There are several manufacturers. I used the Eibach pro-kit springs on a '98 I had, handled awesome and dropped it about 1.5-2".

I like my BBK springs, but they won't lower it much more than you already have it.

careful. you may need C/C plates to go along with the springs. It all adds up to more money and if you are just going to sell itll be better to leave it how it is...unless the 4cyl springs are really terrible....

with that said FMS springs are cheap and dont lower it too drastically

When I took mine in for the alignment after the pro-kit springs, they said I needed the plates.

Then just leave it alone. Eibach Pro-Kit is a great spring. Although then it requires offset steering rack bushings, shorter endlinks, Bump steering tie rod ends, C/C plates. Way to much money to spend if your just gonna sell it. It would be a waste, actually a loss in your case.
