The Eibach Pro-kit should fit your requirement. They'll lower your car about 1" all around. Another option is the Tanabe NF210 (GS3 and GS4 models are different). I liked them more than the Eibach/L-tuned, and they gave a nicer wheel gap all around. The Eibachs are around $260 shipped while the Tanabes are $235 shipped. Both are great springs.

definitely RCAs....easy install...and you keep your existing suspension too.
unless you have the tools and time to DIY, springs/shocks will cost you more $ to have a shop install them. Most springs/shocks combo requires you to keep your stock top mounts. Removing and re-installing them takes time. And time=$$$!!

I recommend RCA's for a stock ride comfort, but with the look of mild lowering springs at a decent price. Installation can be done yourself easily. Front is a piece of cake, while the rear take a bit more time but nothing major. Here is my car dropped with Sage 30mm RCA's all around. Later I added Exact front RCA's which lower the front 38MM instead of 30mm for the Sage, and even later I got a one off set from PHML a 40mm Sage. With the 38 and 40mm front RCA's the front gap evened up much better in comparison to the rear.
Anyway, here is a pics when I had the 30mm RCA's all around.

CK6Speed-that GS looks sick! I hate "overdone" mods with crazy wheels and drops. Yours looks like it should've come from the factory that way! Love the wheels too!

Wow, only $400 for springs AND shocks? How'd you pull that off? I spent over $700 on KYBs/Eibach and that was getting em cheap! What do you think of your TRD blue sways?? Im thinking of getting them next but I hear mixed things about them. Did you do sway links at the same time?
