Any kit will look good. The least amount of lowering springs out there are usually 1". They can go from 1.3" to 2" after that. I would consider the Prokit or Sportlines.

Compromise- 1.5"
It could use a lower stance, in my opinion. It's sitting a little high.

1.5 would be too much around here, an inch is the most I'd do as far as speedbumps, driveways, etc.

I would put ground effects on it, they make it look alot lower and you don't have to go through the inconvience of having a lowered car.

The Sportlines give too much of a drop though. Go with the Pro-Kits.

And this is right after changing the springs. They have dropped a little bit more, but they are almost there. Great springs.

well, you could also get 91-92 ground effects, that would make it look lower, since them ground effects are not as low.
That or I would say, 2" if your not running super low exhaust, if you are (like me) then no more than 1" if any.
I loke lowered 3rd gens a lot, however, I run true dual with an X pipe and if I lower the car at all from stock height, I will scrape just driving down a flat road. My car sits great to me, it's got the 91 ground effects, 17" ROH wheels with the 45 series tires. I like it, however, if I did not run this exhaust set up, I would go 2" no doubt.
You do good with 2" with them ground effects...
