Need help with suspension

I am going to be buying 17' rims soon, not sure what kind, but I want to avoid the 4x4 look. So I will be lowering the car at the same time. What I'm looking for is about a 1.5-2 inch drop. I want it to be low enough to fit a stillen aero kit and low enough for maximum performance. Any help would be much appreciated. Also I tried the search function, it says it's disabled or something....Can anyone direct into the right place? Thanks.

With a stillen kit I'm sure you wont want a 2" drop cause you'll be at high risk of scrapping. a 1.5 Drop should do you good with the kit. Look at the link above and research for a good 1.5" drop. (Dont choose drop Zone)

i was gonna suggest the Tein S-Techs whic, if you go to the mod site, you will obviously see that they give the lowest drop. But from what MDeezy said, you probably don't want to go that low if you have the lip or a kit on there. I heard the Tokicos work well.

This is my 2nd time having Sprint springs...this time w/ 18" wheels instead of stock...and KYB GR2 struts instead of stock...

Ive got a lip, and it'll scrape only when you let it.....if you drive it properly, you wont scrape...(unless there's uneven, sh8tty roads EVERYwhere)

Get a set of H&R's or Tein H-Tech springs and couple them with Tokico Illumias struts and rear shocks. Drive carefully once you get the Stillen kit on and you should be just fine.
