Max lowering would be the Eibach Sportlines
Max performance would be the Pedders

We carry both.

had ssc springs on my old ls, really good springs for the price

have a friend with progress springs, also good but not progressive so the smaller bumps are a little more noticeable

if you wanna be low all around go h&r
if u wanna retain some ride quality and be low in the front, semi-low in the back go ssc

H&R sports are lower. Pedders are ftw too! I love the SSCs I've got, they're great springs for the price. Op, you may also want to consider steering rack spacers to help with bump steer and FE5 struts as well since they're much stronger.
