If it's a WRX then you can buy my brand new Eibach Pro-street coilovers which are in my garage

And lower it almost to the bumpstops LOL

how low do you want to go?

bear in mind that going too low will change the roll centre of the car and will, if you go low enough, put it sub ground level. This will make the car handle like a pig and defeat the object of the exercise.

also, the size of wheel wont affect it as I would imagine that the profile of the tyres you will fit will be in keeping with the overall diameter otherwise gearing will be screwed.
