The search tool is going to help more than anything.

Swift springs offer a slight drop with good ride quality.

If you want to slam your car, get coilovers.

Offsets: max you can go without rubbing in most cases is 7" width on wheels, +45 offset, and 205 width on the tires. With camber and rolling you can go up to probably about whatever you want to. I think I've seen +38, 8", with 215s before.

That's pretty much the summary you need to know to get off and running.

If you are just interested in lowering springs that go low, I like the way the Teins look, but I can't imagine the ride quality being very good at all.
