Your wheels look beautiful and your tire size is excellent.
Do you know what offset these wheels are?
Yeah it could use a drop. Coilovers are the best way to go since it's all inclusive and the struts and shocks are designed for lowering. But they cost a pretty penny.
Your other choice is dropped springs. The preferred choice seems to be Megan racing. They're very inexpensive and give about a 2" drop while maintaining a near stock ride as far as comfort goes. Keeping your drop no more than 2" should keep your camber within spec. Your stock struts and shocks should provide pretty good service with this drop. Although they're not designed for lower springs they should be fine operating a bit outside of their intended range. Operating your shocks and struts outside of their intended range isn't what kills them, but allowing them to bottom out does. If you drive over speed bumps, pot holes, etc. with caution there's no reason you shouldn't get full service life out of them, or at least til someone comes out with lowered shocks / struts for our application. - Dan
! Coilovers offer the "advantage" of adjustable height (and subsequebnt stiffness), but if you never intend to race, I don't see the advantage. Switching to variable rate lowering springs is cheaper and usually a more appropriate street solution.
