Does anyone have the whole lowering kit, Struts and springs? It seems like everyone is doing just spring.

I do. my suspension is H&R springs, koni yellows, dc strutbar, progress swaybar, CA floorbar, and bridgestone potenza s03 pole position tires. Car loves eating corners. I want to get the harness bar just to tie the upper seatbelt points

I want everything you have but I want it to sit alittle bit lower. How much of a drop do you on it right now? I seen a combo kit around somewhere with a 3" drop.

I have a 1.4/1.6 drop on it. I know different parts of the states have different road conditions but I live in an area thats really nice roads and whatnot, and I scrape the front lip and the hard plastic piece under the (radiator or h/e? ) once in a while. It does sit lower when I have the stock wheels/tires on it maybe a half an inch.

haha, that's the plan, then i have some custom lightweight flat black 5 spoke wheels going on.

for the record i can tuck the front, but the rear just isn't capable. i think down the road i'm gonna try to do a independent rear suspension conversion and see where that gets me

it just takes a lot of patience, try using rubbing alcohol, or paint thinner to aid in removing the adhesive, but make sure to wash it really good afterwards, and wax the area. be gentle, because that area of the trunk will bend easily. stout fishing line may help as well.
