what coils did you go with? and washers? not sure where washers come into play...
it doesn't take much to get these cars to get fairly low (which most of the members here does not do). just run the coils out of the box and see if you like the way the car sits. how it will ride is another issue...

if you want to go SUPER low like what you see in japan/internet, that is a whole other ballgame that coils alone cannot do.

and the fuel tank is inside the car directly behind the rear seat, so there is no raising of the fuel tank necessary at all!
plus the only wiring you need to worry about is around the front fenders, but you will never hit them if all you have added are the coils. the suspension will max out before the tires can make contact with the wiring.
