The Ground Control coilovers are very good because the spring is made by Eibach. However I don't recommend dropping the car that low for the street and it will blow out the stock struts quickly. Plus it handles horribly that low.

As low as you seem to want it, airbag suspension may be best. GC coilovers are great but are meant for performance not just the lowered look. If you autox or take it to a track, I would recommend GC, but for show and street go airbag. But I don't know if anyone makes an airbag kit so if anyone knows post.

The ideal setting for the street is 13 15/16 inches from the wheel center to the fender lip on the front and 13 9/16 on the rear. These measurements are about 1.5 inches lower than stock on front and rear. If you want it abit lower in front then I don't recommend going more than 13 11/16 which is just under 2 inches.
