I would suggest going with the Eibach Pro Kit instead of the Steada Springs. The Eibachs are a bit lower and I believe Eibach makes the Steada Springs anyway.

Not sure if I want to go that low. Not sure if I want the front end and rear end alignment issues of going that low.

I love those. It's either that or the Halibrand Cobra III's for me.

A question:

-why did you go with the 45 tire height instead of 35?

Originally I was going to try a 295/45/18 in the rear. But, it was way too big. Had the 2 255/45 for the front, had the tire store stick one of them on the rear. It looked good to me, Espeically since I have plans to lower the car. So I just had them get all 4 a like.

The 45 is as close as you can get to the stock tire diameter with a 255 width and 18" wheel. Wouldn't make much sense to use a 35 with that width and and an 18" wheel.
