Welcome.

How low do you wanna go?
I'm dropping my car 1.5 in the front and 1.4 in the rear with H&R Sport springs next week.

visit heeltoauto.com and excelerate performance
they have lots of springs and coils to choose from.

there are also a couple of cat back exhausts to choose from.

Supposed to be 1.4" Front / 1.3" Rear. I think it's close to that, maybe a tad less.
