Thanks scdroptop. The expert has spoken! 
OK. Megan EZ coilovers and the strut bar (at least it looks good
).
Now who has the coilovers in stock? I heard no one does at this time.
I will post pics as soon as I got a chance.

Oh, I'm sorry I didn't answer your question about height. 1.5" inches would be very conservative. I started at 2.5" and came up a bit. Probably settling around 2" and it's still conservative. No rubbing, no extreme out-of-whack camber, etc. Only thing I might change is a wider wheel or spacers to get my wheels to stick out more, but it's purely cosmetic and VERY minute (not like there is a "ton" of space, I'm just OCD like that!) Here is a pic of my car lowered with Megans. You can search for my other posts and see more pics or PM me and I can send.
Beautiful car! What size wheels/tires do you have?
The car I am buying is black/ecru. I actually like black even though it is hard to keep clean.

Got the car last night. Here are some pics taken in my garage with flash. Sorry about the quality. It was already dark after I got home after work. Last pic is the butt contest.

I feel the car drives fine stock. Cornering is ok. The most improvement I'd like is the steering feel. How can I tighten up the steering a bit/the front end? My BMW's steering is very hard/tight in comparison. It feels funny driving the two cars within one day. What a difference!

thes best investment youll ever make on that car is wheel and tires...being a RWD car I recommend a staggared set of wheels with non run flat tires. I personally am running a set of ISX50 wheels 18x8 front and 18x8.5 rear and Hankook Ventus V12 tires 225/40/18 front 255/40/18 rear. the difference in my steering/ride is night and day.
If you go under the wheels and tires fourms a guy is selling this set with tires for about 650...he is in CA. You can swap over your tire pressure sensors from your stock set.
Good luck!
