My car sits just like that maybe a tad lower in the front and my rear I adjusted up..I dont like the look of it being lower in the back.

Your not going to be able to go any lower then that unless you ditch the fender liners and run steering stops on your control arms. I cut mine in the center to clear my tires at full bump.

I agree with Strlegal, you need the Speedtech spindles in order to get the front low enough on these cars while retaining good geometry. When they are lowered too much using just springs the lower ball joint pivot gets higher than the lower control arm inner pivot point. This is bad. The almost 1" drop the Speedtech spindle offers is perfect.
If I was to redo mine, I would add these.

Im using SC&C's stage 2 plus. I works really well and I am very pleased with the auto x results. Im using a 17x8 with 5" BS. Using a 7" wide wheel you will have some extra room to avoid rubbing.

Whatever you do, use a system that improves over the stock geometry such as Speedtech, Sc&C. Slapping on some dropped spindles and arms from XX company does not always offer much for improvement besides looks and wow factor.
