Its all on opinion, for me tucked is enough. In doing this though you get what you pay for. Do a search, they're threads like this and people post pics they're rides with whatever springs or setups they use.

No finger gap, but does not necessarily have to be H-t means of "Slammed"
I prefer yellow Koni Sports and Ground Control Coilovers. You simply can't get wrong with their lifetime warranty

Re: how much should i lower it (itsmejto)
If it's your daily driver, and you don't wanna go over-bored, some good shocks with a "sport drop" will be enough. Not to low, not to high will do. Or, if you don't care about that, then I say slam it on it's nuts! 
My coupe is my weekend car, so i might have to get her a jockstrap once the coils go on.

Ideally .75" to 1.75" with sport springs. You'll still be able to use OEM components - and still be within factory specs...
Beyond 1.75" you'll be have to start installing recalculated front a-arms, longer rear trailing arms, and all that rot!
You can go as much as 3" using coil-overs and struts but this will result in severe alignment problems, excessive tire wear, and won't be much fun to drive!
After that... you're on your own!
Here's a snappy of my DD:
1.75" front / 1.5" rear - zero gap with HX wheels - 4.5" ground clearance on front lip - perfectly driveable (if you watch yourself)...
