I just put Goldline's on my car yesterday, lowered it about 2", will prob sit a little more in a week. So you might not want them. I had about a 2.5", and 3" gap before, now it is like less than a 1/2 in. It seems waaaay lower than 2. Ill put a pic up tomorrow or something.

Perhaps consider Eibach Sportlines, Neuspeed Sports or some H&R's. Hopefully your wheel offset is large enough that your tires wont rub when you compress your suspension. Consider buying camber kits while your at it.

yea be carefuly of that rubbing most people who want to lower go with 205/40/17, or 205/45/ 17 , so make sure it wont rub otherswise youll have to get new tires along with it
