lowering a front wheel drive car may not be the best idea in the world. The geometry of the lower a arm, the stress on the bushings, and the position of the cv axles and related wear would all change.
I would think the less expensive option, and the best for the longevity of the car, is to think on continuing the lowering trend all around the car, or get a belly pan put in. especially with those narrow tires, height is irrelevant to economy assuming the air flowing underneath is dealt with expertly.
For a good solid backing, I would go with a sheet of roll steel to sister behind the lawn edging. I believe it is sold as flashing at Home Depot, and is roughly the correct width. It would stregthen the lawn edging over the entire length, and would be nearly invisible to the exterior.
