Thanks for the props guys it was a long hard journey to get them but all turned out well as you can see. To answer some of the questions:
I am using the eibach spring kit that has a 1.25" drop all around, but after 6+ months it has settled to be >=1.5" easily.
Stock struts for now but those will be replaced w/ Konis over the next few months.
As far as the ride goes it's not as bad as I was expecting, my car is not slammed so it still rides nice although the 215/35 tires do take away from that a bit.
