You could go with a set of entry level coil overs. this will allow you to fine tune your ride height if you rub or scrape.

i just got some eibach sportlines and that dropped my hatch about 2 inches (50mm) so i think coils are your best bet. i know omni powers are around 650$, and they are pretty decent.

ditch those monster 17's, pick up some 15's get some skunk2 coil overs from jhp for about $560, springs are crap.

x2 ^ 17's are hard to lower a car on..I have 16's and my car isn't even that low and I'm going to switch to 15's soon so I can lower it more..cause when you have a bigger rim it's hard to lower and if so you have to camber the wheels a lot.. for example
^-my car..I had to camber a lot so the wheels would fit under the wells
so yeah I recommend getting smaller rims and getting coil overs..cause springs you can't adjust and coil overs you can..that's what I love about them..you can raise the car or slam it

go with the skunk2 pro-c full coilovers.........but if not skunk2 then go with coilovers. its way more fun to be able to adjust your ride hight and functional to.

You may aswell remove the helper spring, its so compressed it wont be doing anything at all
