Looks good. Your car is a little higher now because those rims, if equipped with the original tires from the 2007 + GS, has an overall larger diameter. I would simply get a set of 1" Eibach lowering springs.

Nice wheels! Eibach, Daizens, or Tien S-Tech springs it the way to go because they can all be used with stock struts. If you want to go a little even lower, try RCAs. GL

RCA kits will do the trick.
