I've heard B&G coilovers can go as low as 2.75 or 3".

Read the suspension forum.

which h&r springs? the sports are only 1.3" which would explaing the small drop. the race are 1.75" were discontinued but its still possible for some shops to sell them.
i hated my neuspeed sports with 18s but now its not as badd with my kit. its actually pretty low and i scrape if i dont take anything at an angle. i dont think the OEM lip is too low tho.
tire size plays a big factor, what are you running? i think neuspeed race would be perfect with the OEM kit on stock wheels. if not, sports is fine to. either way i recommend a camber kit. i havnt gotten one with my sports and lets say i learned the hard way

Weaponx12o is on a distinguished road
with a factory kit and 205/40 tires, a 2.25" drop is perfect because the OEM lip only goes down about an inch (as low as the rubber spoiler is on the front bumper). get B+G coilovers, skunk2 sleeved coils, ground control sleeved coils, or neuspeed race springs. with that xenon kit, keep your h&r's and try the kit on first, then decide if you need to go lower. heres my ride with a 2.25" drop on B+G's with 205/40/17 tires. no kit yet though

Don't go to low. I bought the drop zone 2.5 " drop in front and rear. bad mistake everthing hits. Also put in the factor that you might want to get a cat-back! Just trying to help.

if you got the money get tein or b+g full coilovers, if not just get skunk2 coilovers or ground control coilovers. i have skunk2 and am lowered probly about 2.5 i doubt oem front lip will scrape, i am alos on 16's with 205/55 tires
