Re: Springs
Conservative 1-1.5" drops usually good to go
what year/trim do you have?
edit: was lowered with tein s-techs for a while on my 2002 (1.3/1.4" lowering F/R) with zero issues. Then I lowered with Tein SS-P coilovers, about 2-3" lowered (lowering is approximate it was about an inch above the lowest adjustment), and had minimal issues. Only scraping I had were on steep driveways and big speedbumps, and even then those scrapes were fairly inconsequential. I was able to take it down a dirt road to a local shooting spot, if that helps at all. It really depends on the kind of roads you're gonna be driving on regularly

The exhaust is the main low point. You can have an exhaust shop weld it up higher, and drop quite low.
You can also run square tubing on the exhaust, if you want it hella flush. (Not the safest for driving around town though, any slight hills/drive ways will scrape)

Looks like twin s-techs will give you about the drop you want. 1.6/1.2 F/R. Couldn't tell you why they drop the rear more, but that's how they spec them, but that's how it is. P/n SKHC8-AUB00. About $200
Eibach pro kit (p/n 4087.140) gives a 1.2/0.7" drop F/R. About $250-300

My guess: because racecar. Lower the front more than the rear forces more air above the car than below the car. Thinking of your car as a wedge, if air is blasting the top more than the bottom, it's gonna kinda produce more downforce. On the flip side, it's gonna create a faster moving stream of air over the top of the car and produce lift (think airplane wing). Honestly, looking at the big picture, it's all for the look. No street modder is really gonna think of it that hardcore.
