People are going to say coilovers and even air. I don't know what your budget is. I went with a Tanabe/Bilstein setup and I like the drop. However I may have plans to change this setup in the future.

Very nice, what kind of wheels are they?
Coilovers, you can adjust how low or lower you want to go

What offset are your wheels?

Do you have the rear fenders shaved?

I'd go with a Tanabe DF210 not the NF210.

If you don't have the rear fenders shaved, depending on offset you will rub with those wide 275/30's. The front should be fine.

*edit* That rear lip is nice!

you might rub a little in the rear, but just do a shave and you will be fine for sure. i have 20x10 in the rears with a 275-35 tire and i have my rears rolled and i am not even close to rubbing, even with 4 people in the car. oh and i am on the tanabe df's. they are the best/most common spring for our cars, i love'em. if you have the money or want to go low get coils. there is a thread called the ultimate spring guide search that and you will have all the answers. good luck and it will look a hell of a lot better once it is lowered.
