Default which lowering spring? and how low?

Hi Guy,

I'm thinking to lower my car, but I don't know which lowering spring is a very good one and I don't know how low should I go...

I have looked at Tein, F-Sport and Tanabe. I'm aiming for one of them, but I don't know how low should I go..

I'm running on ASA Wheels and Nitto N555:
Front: 235/35ZR19 W91
Rear: 275/35ZR19 W100

I don't want to go really low so that the car will start rubbing or hitting the exhaust cat back.

Does it fit with the size of the wheels and tires that I have post it.
Or there is a specifec model for the spring wich will fit with sizings, so it doesn't rub?

i got 245-35-19 and i used to scratch in the begining, now it doesnt, im not sure about urs, sides i wouldnt worry too much about rubbing.

Prob with out 300's is that the drop would differ from the 250/350 so i dunno exactly what size wont rub, but i say get the S, techs and let them rub til they rub no more

PM kattan3 he had the tanabe springs on his 300,
