    Your safest bet is probably the RSX A-Spec strut/spring combo with RSX tie rod ends. About an inch lower, so a decent drop without messing up the geometry of the suspension. The HFP kit lowers about .75" and would be my #1, but it's hard to come by. Some people here like the Raceland coilovers as well due to the price, which allow an adjustable ride height.

    I'm in Chicago and I use koni yellows & Ground Control. If price is within your budget, GC's are height adjustable, so you could have a lower stance in warmer weather and raise it up in the winter. I have mine set around an inch all the way around rolling with 225/50/16 tires. I could go little more lower if my fenders were rolled. I believe the spring rates are 450f/800r??? FYI, I also have racing header/exhaust combo which hangs lower than stock system and do not have any clearance issues. GL.
