I don't know if you will get it that low. The lowest kit lowers it 2 inches total. That's going to get it low but I don't know about the gap. It will be small though.

Eibach springs are the most popular. The Sportlines are the ones you want if you want it really low. The Pro-Kit is the one that is a little less aggressive at about 1.5 inches.

You will need a kit to correct the camber and castor. Either bolts for $30 or a better kit for about $190.

That's all you NEED, however I wouldn't stop there. Tokico D-Spec adjustable shocks ($500). and an adustable panhard bar to reposition the rear end in the proper place ($150) and upper and lower control arms ($200)...although I am no expert on those so you might ask around.

I suggest doing a search on the site for this, as it has been discussed many times.

I have the Eibach Pro-Kit springs which lower the car about 1.5 inches. I also had new billett LCA's installed, but the shocks are still stock and I don't have a camber plate/bolt. It rides and handles fine for dailystreet driving.
