lowering help

did you roll your fenders? if you want to go lower and think you're going to have rubbing issues then that would probably be my best suggestion. and also what suspension setup you have now. if stock then maybe go with tanabe gf210 springs. or you could go with coilovers and that would make suspension adjustable. look at spring rate and how low springs are going to lower the car.

I have the Tein S-Techs on mine with 19" offset tires in the rear. Fender rolling was mandatory. Took me about 20 phone calls to find the right place but they did a sweet job. Even so, I still had to back off on the lowering due to occasional rubbing. Basically, I found that the trade off for peace of mind while drive over varying road surfaces to be much better than looking cool and ripping up my brand new Nitto tires. I believe I could drop it a little from where it ended up and
I'm sure some will say "lower it" however the general folk that see the car out and about can't tell the difference 1 cm makes and I haven't had time to put it on a lift repeatedly to experiment with absolute minimum.

Rolling fenders without cracking the paint isn't an easy thing. Like I said I had to call 20 places to find someone who didn't think I was smoking something (rolling what you say??) and had the experience to do it right. I got it done in Oakville at Exclusive Car Care and they did a perfect job.
