What are you measuring from? It's all your choice depending how you drive the car and how the roads/weather is. My car is 4.5" and I still scrape my catalytic converter on slight slopes.

If you arent too serious about a drop but want adjustability, look at coil over sleeves. Then you can adjust 1-4" and dial in the exact height you want.

yea no issue there at all. 15x7 +40 with 205/50/15 will have no clearance issues.

This. I have ran Eibach sleeve over system back in the day and helps dial it in from 1-2" for best results or spend a little extra on a set of Function Form Type 1 full coil overs that you wont regret. Just depends on what results you are looking for. Don't expect a great ride from the Eibach sleeve over system on stock struts lowered more than 1".

Thanks agian ! I'll look into the eibachs and check out the function also I'm kinda new to the suspension set up what would you recommend that would go for street and and handling turns at good speed to reduce body roll ??
