For those who want a "custom" height adjustment, coilovers are the best bet, as you can tinker with it till you find what's right for you.

A word to the wise, however:
FK coils (and KW - they are very, very similar) are known for going "low" - they're highest ride settings are usually still somewhat lower than OEM.... (note, it doesn't tell me whether these numbers are based off sport or non-sport, but they are good for comparing to each other)....
-KW V1 will drop the rear a minimum of .9" for sedan and .6" for coupe,
-v2... .8 / .9, and
-v3.... .9 / .6....
-even street comfort... .4" minimum - but these are pretty rare in the US and might have to be imported (not a problem, just cautioning you guys)

Now, Bilstein used to be a little more conserative, but apparently those are more aggressive now - dropping a minimum of 1" for either car.

H&R Street Performance Coilovers are a safe bet too, at .75" minimum drop in the rear.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news gentlemen! But I hope this clears things up a bit!
