I run 17's w/ a 2" drop so I think you will have to go w/ like 1-1.5" drop...and do get the camber kit--it'll save your tires and make your wheels look good.

Edit: Some good springs are Neuspeed sports, Eibach, or Goldline...for coil-over springs go with either B&G, Ground Control, or Skunk2. Ingalls or Hotchkiss make good camber kits.

i didnt go for the name brands such as eibach h&r cuz they dont drop much for our cars so instead i went for matrix springs since they have a drop of 2.5 to 2.75, looks pretty nice on my 18s and has rubbed or anything and the ride is decent

I use the matrix springs that give me a 2" drop and I a using 225/40/18 BF Goodrich rubber on my TSW.
And I have no rubbing and rides very good.

Eibach Pro Kit is what will give you that look, but be as close to stock (feel) as possible, and not rub at the same time its about a 1inch drop. If thats not enough try the Eibach Sportline kit it is about 1.5inches drop

ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS realign a car after it has been lowered. If you want a perfect drop I say go with an adjustable spring setup. I use ground control...doesn't ride too rough...but you'll need shocks and a camber kit. Pics of it in my ride section...[hr]
