I've been running Eibach springs, which lower the car about 30mm all around, for two years on stock shocks. I love the feel and would have Koni adjustables (which are sitting on the bench right in front of me) if I had time to install them.

I did need to have the front wheel well lips rolled (only cost me about $125 in the States) to eliminate the front tires (upgraded to 225/40-18s up front) from hitting the inner liner.

Hit Swift up directly here, too many variables depending on exact spring choice.

Haven't been to the track, but around town Eibachs are great.

If you like that dumped rear look (I don't!) you won't like them. Also, aftermarket wheels and even different tires on stock wheels can make a visual difference in the gap.
