lowest set of springs?
I just had a set of springtechs installed and the drop is perfect. 2" in front and 1.8" in the rear. If you want to go lower than that you need to get some coilovers. I wouldnt recommend it though, unless you want to use your car strictly for show. The ride will be stiff as hell as well.
Both sprint and tein s-techs are more than 2". It will look good, but there will be almost no suspension travel left and you will be bottoming out alot. It is just they way our suspenison is designed. The car will actually handle worse with that low of a drop because of the lack of suspenison travel.
Not all coilovers are going to be really stiff, you can choose the spring rate you want with coilovers, as well as adjust the the strut stiffness and ride height. Coilovers will allow you to go as low as you want while maintaining suspension travel.
Trying to go lower than 2" with regular springs is very hard on struts. You will have to go with Tokico Illuminas if your going that low.

You sure your exhaust shop can do mandrel bends?

The H-Techs or H&R's. H&R's give you a slightly softer ride, while H-Techs give you slightly better performance. Drops are very close, H-Techs might be a tiny bit lower but I don't know. Some cars take the same springs and struts and are a little lower than others so you can't really go by that. All I know is PHenry has a writeup on the H-Techs when he first installed them a while back. It was very good.
