The thread title is a little misleading. You should change it to say something like "Largest Drop with Quality Springs" or something of that nature.
Sorry I don't know the answer to your question though...

The lower you go the worse it will ride. The Eibach Pro Kit with it's 1" all around drop is pretty good for what is available right now. It won't throw the suspension geometry off too badly.

Lowering a car as low as you can on springs is generally a horrible idea. It's also not a great idea with coilovers. Each to their own though.

The FR-S / BRZ / GT-86 was engineered to be a great handling car. These are NEW cars, and we all paid a lot for them. Toyota and Subaru spent years engineering this car and it's suspension and I don't foresee any springs anytime soon that go much beyond the 1.5 inch mark.

Just some of the unintended consequences of being to low:

I really would appreciate it if people would stop telling me the downsides of lowering the car. I KNOW. I've been working on cars for 12 years. And I don't care. It's not even lowered that much. I'll likely be going with the Eibach Sportlines which is ~1.5" drop. Looking at current Five Axis vehicles with the 19" wheels, it needs maybe a 2" drop to be near flush.

I'll do the measuring once I get the wheels on.

This is my ultimate goal, what I had in my 370.
