look at the GE lowered thread. Swift springs are the best if you don't want anything too aggressive, only draw back is they'll be a little bit more expensive than most other options.

depends on the offset, wheel width, wheel set up(flat face or dish), and tire size.
I'm running 16" and always will

Progress makes some that aren't too aggressive. I ordered a set today and will be installing them on the 11th or 12th. The guys there know their stuff.

I believe Progress and Swift have the same drop amount...

But from everything I've read, the Swift's ride better. I LOVE my Swifts...here's a pic...

Definitely at risk of rubbing from what I've gathered. Try 195s, which besides being narrower, are also smaller in diameter, which seems to be the trick to getting low.
