i have the steeda ultralites and they look/ perform great. they aren't too low, but they still give the aggressive appearance and improve handling

Pro kit is a perfect balance of looks and performance. With most kits you will need an alignment and an adjustable pan hard rod to center the rear axle under the body

I just swapped Steeda sports for the pro-kits I had. The Steeda sports are not quite as low or as stiff as the pro-kits, but are an improvement over the OEM springs - no more jacked-up, SUV look with gaping wheel wells. Having now run both on the same car, I prefer the Steeda Sports.

i have the FRPP ones with Tokico shocks/struts. they are pretty nice, they could be a 1/4 inch lower. but all in all i am happy.

Based on that information the Steeda Ultralights are EXACTLY what you are looking for.

I'm a big fan of the Eibach Pro-Kit mdg, but based on the dimensions you gave, you might be happiest with the Ultralights as Tim has said

So, if I go with the Steeda Ultralights or Eibach Pro-kit, do I need an alignment and adjustable pan hard rod?

yes

I like the BMR, part# PHR006, adjustable pan-hard bar (scroll down about half way)
