i dont really recommend aggressive wheels but i think 8.5 inch wheels will look too thin for your setup, i'd go 9.5 or 10 all around non staggered with +38 or less offset, as far as springs im dropped on tein s-techs and scrape on my driveway alot but speed bumps you just have to go over it at an angle usually and its fine. I havent really looked into springs but i think anywhere between 1-1.5 inch drop would be ok

Eyelids, drop, wheels, c.f. in order of importance in my mind. not my cup of tea. but its different so props for that.

Personally I wouldn't of wasted money on a body kit or a wing before doing a serious amount of performance upgrades, because all you have now is a stock eight with a silly kit and a ridiculous wing. That being said, I agree with everyone else here that since you've already bought this kit (which I gather you either have to love or hate) you need to take it all the way with some nice wheels and have it lowered. The Eibach kit works well and I don't ever hit anything, and if I think I might I just take it on an angle. It looks like your leaning toward bigger rear tires than in the front? I wouldn't mess with different front/rear wheel setups, try to keep the 50/50 ratio going. Plus if the tires are bigger on the back you'll just point the nose down which will only increase the chances of you destroying the front lip, although that may be a good thing. Your car can still look nasty, all you really need to do is find a nice set of wheels, that's what will make or break your 8.

I tried not to flame you, just passing as much advice as I can. Personally I think your 8 looks horrible right now. Fix it!

I don't understand the hate for the Abflug kit. I don't like the rear, but as someone who was searching here for anything dealing with it, I don't see why there's only one person who likes it... and it's the op. I agree that dropping it and getting some nice wheels would do it justice, but damn... why the hate?

i dont know why but i keep seeing a celica with that front end... is that just me?
