I would get sportlines. about 1.5-2.0 drop. and when yo have to change tires put some 275/40/17 in the back. you can get them for 100 from tirerack (khumo supra 712s) check my cardomain site. I have sport lines.

Go with either BMR, or Eibach. I love my sportlines with my snypers and the drop is dramatic yet streetable without rubbing. The Eibach pro kit would also suffice if you don't want to go that low. Check my sig for pics.
