Help on lowering my tls?

Hi all, its been awhile. I havent done a mod for quite a while & i'm getting the bug again after getting new tires last weekend. I don't know the ist thing about whats the chit when it comes to Lowering. This will be my 1st mod i havent done myself. Does anyone know of a good shop in the Seattle area (both good work & price). I want my car to look good with my exsisting 17's & not have to worry about destroying my body kit. Also I dont want a bumpy ride. The tires i just purchased are the mich. pilot sport A/S (225/45 zr17) Luv um
here is an current pic of my tls Hope i did the pic right?

Thanks in advance

How much you willing to spend? H&R OE springs will give you a small drop without the risk of damaging the body kit, all at a resonable price.

All i can say is Im happy with my Tien SS the pillowmounts give u a nice ride, But all this really depends on how low u want to go, which works well with the coilover since they are adjustable

Give Les Schwab a call to see how much they would charge for the H&R OE's installed. Also setup a deal to have them do your alignment after a couple weeks or so to let the springs settle in first.

I have H&R Sport with stock shocks and I don't have scraping issue with most of the parking curbs except some exceptional higher than normal. With body kits, the car sit about 5.5in above the ground so most speed bumps, parking curbs, and dips won't be a problem if you drive slow. I think the installation is around $100.
