Any help about my question would be much appreciated . I would love to get this done asap.

It depends on what you want as best
Best lowering
Intrax- 1.7" lowering
Best ride
Eibach 1.0" lowering
Middle ground
H&R 1.3" lowering
My choice is Intrax for that slammed look

The only way to assure a satisfactory outcome is to go with infinitely adjustable coilovers. This way you set your ride height.
With your wheels, you have to worry about creating interference when you lower the car. If you create a rub, the money you spent on the springs AND the money you spent on the wheels goes down the tubes.
So, I'd go with a conservative drop with springs, or go for coilovers (which are pricier, but a guaranteed success).

I understand, funny thing is we have eibach and intrax ready to ship, no H&R.
Eibach Springs
$309
Shipped
BTW I'm in NY, born and raised and the streets are really bad. Still my car is lowered over 2inches, lol.
