coils are not going down any lower than that in the front. Sorry, but my vehicle needs to be driveable in all kinds of situations. The rear may come down another half inch or so, but the fronts...are staying.

I'm glad to see someone doing something to these. I want a 2008 though.
As for Stance.
I think you should reconsider your route, if you want to be "Stanced." I understand that you need your car drivable, that's pretty much a given with anyone, but fact is .. your on 19" wheels and you still need to come down 1 1/2 to make them look somewhat decent. I'm not bagging you or trolling, but you said your new to the Stance game; so, I want to help.
I personally, think the best route for you is air. You can achieve all the lows you want and still be drivable when aired, because with coils your not going to be happy.
THIS Is all IMO. So, just take it as suggestion, without any offense.

Why an '08? They look the same as the '06...
There is no precedent on these vehicles for air ride. The only one I know of has only done the rears and he just has a set of truck bags in there that he pumps up with a bike pump via schrader valve. El-Oh-El.
Besides, bags are for groceries...
Also, there is a lack of availability for parts with these cars...including camber kits, adjustable ball joints, etc. It's not an 3-series or a Honda Civic...
Also, you may not have noticed buttttt I live in Nebraska. Even being this low I get looks, often of disapproval. This is the place where lifted trucks rule and lowering hasn't caught on yet. There's no shop in town that I'm aware of that would be able to attempt a bag setup...now if I wanted to lift it and put mudder tires on it I'm sure I could find a place...
I decided on 19's because this is a large sedan and anything smaller doesn't fill up the arches and anything bigger and I have no tire. Also I got a helluva deal on them ($450 for the set) when they cost $320 each new. FWIW, I'm already planning my next wheel purchase...
I expected it not to really fit in on S|W but I like the community here and the vehicles, etc, so I figured people might want to see what I roll around in.FlickHer

O no man, your more than welcome here. We love all chassis here at S|W. Hit up Bagriders, first before you rule out bags. I understand where you coming from; my wagon turns head all the time (Ask Yogi_Bear) but it still isn't nearly close to what caliber of cars on here.
I'm saying to really make a statement with your car, you're going to have to get a little ballzy
