I wont discredit a single suggestion, or opinion.

In terms of lowering a car. What do you think is the appropriate heighth in terms of styling, and also will give you enough suspension travel and best handling?

H&R 1.5-1.3
Vogtlund 1.6-1.6
Neuspeed 1.75-1.75 inch drop
Vogtlund 2.2-2.2
Eibach 1.4-1.2

All of this without smacking your oil pan.
Its definetly Bilstein Sport struts.

Are those FK systems from ECS any good? Progressive or linear rate springs? stiff or soft?

I have Neuspeed springs on my NB. The ride is pretty good for a lower stance, and it handle great on corners. I personally wouldn't go any lower than this, due to the compressed springs, which has less spring travel and cause a bumpier ride.

As of yesterday I came into some money. So I plan on fixing the suspension once and for all.
