Ride quality would still be great and you can expect 1.5 -2" lowering.

It would allow you to not have to use such a large front air dam, shrink some wheel well gap and look much cooler.
Although I agree with this on all points, because I want to do the same with my car... You only forgot one thing, scraping the underside of your car on every speedbump and pothole. It is a compromise, looks nice, eliminates wheel gap, less need for belly pan, shorter air dam, but you have to be much more careful when driving around town. The eibachs would probably cost a bit more than the other modifications as well but would take less time to install than putting all of the other mods on.
