Re: lowering
the "best" is what's in you budget works gives decent ride comfort and won't brake in a year. but in short so such thing as best depends on why you want from the set up
Re: lowering
15 PSI in 3 tires. 25 in the fourth. Doesn't matter which one as long as its rotating in the opposite direction from the other 3. Use your stock struts. The more broke in the better. Get springs from a chevette. But it HAS to be pre '82 for the rates to be right. SLAM DAT **** SON!
NOW, take all the information I gave you and research and come up with your own ideas for whats right for you just like the good ole days before everybody got lazy as **** and wanted everyone else to hand feed them.

Re: lowering
There is no such thing as "low and comfortable". Lower inherently means less room for suspension travel. "Comfortable" generally means the suspension can absorb bumps and imperfections in the road without the body of the car having to react. Going lower means using higher spring rates, which will make the suspension "snappier", but you'll feel the difference.
On top of that, you have the effects of your tires. Softer tires, with a softer and larger sidewall, will absorb those little bumps and imperfections much better than performance oriented tires, which are made to maintain traction and road feel.
If you want it to stay comfortable, stay at stock height, with 13" or 14" wheels, and full-sized tires. Modern true sports cars can be comfortable because they have $10000 suspensions under them - your car does not, and cannot.

The lower you go OP the ride quality get's worse.
