That's low enough (to low in the front if you ask me) to where you start hurting rebound and compression.

Either way if you are unworried of this then just get some ground control's. Slam on.

dont go lower. I made the mistake of buying sportlines, and then getting ground controls. I threw alot of $$$ away doing this. But my car is low. I'd say if you really want it lower, just get yourself and coilovers. The tokico Illuminas you have can handle i larger drop. I have them now, and im dropped about 3"

BTW: hatchie looks pimp.
