Swift lowering springs would be your best option if you don't have a set budget.

Swift lowering springs

Also, what size tires do you plan on running? What offset Slips?

I've got Tein STechs and like them:

Electronics, Cars, Fashion, Collectibles, Coupons and More Online Shopping | eBay

They're pretty soft spring rates and the ride is pretty comfy for me, stock shocks still and they haven't blown (it's been about a year now). Still feels like the day I installed them. About a 2" drop, don't expect a huge handling improvement, they're for looks mainly.

You'll still have some wheel gap with either the Swifts of STechs and 16's. You'll need coilovers to close all of the gap.

Thanks for your replys.... For the 16x7's what is a good offset?....I was thinking about a 205/45/16 for the tires...I appreciate your suggestions since I really don't know much about the right offset and tire size etc etc.....

205/50/16 tire size will give you the same diameter as the stock tire size. 205/45/16 will start throwing off your speedo and miles gauge...

So I just got bought the Tein s techs :D.......So I should go for a 16x7 wheel with 205/50/16 tire and a 45 offset for no rubbing?....what is the lowest offset I could go for w/o rubbing just to have an idea?....thanks in advance!
