4th Generation KYB GR-2, Springs?

Sup ya'll I know there's been lotta threads with ur opinions on springs but i cant find em. I bought some kyb struts bout month ago n gon install em in my 98 Camry I4 sometime next week. I dont plan on gettin ground effects. Now im gon install some rims eventually, more than likely some 17's over 18's- not sure which but im really likin some Lexus OEM rims.

I want a slight drop jus to make tha gap in the wheel well smaller to maybe look like a VW or Lexus stock gap in the wheel well. Dont wanna drop over board, jus somethin that gon look nice. Im not lookin for a stiff ass ride neither, would prefer somethin more softer/luxery "ride like a caddy" feelin. i've heard bout eibachs n HR's, which would u recommend? Also dont want struts to give out quickly or start saggin from tha slight drop, wat ya'll think?

i knoe which springs ya'll recommend, but which specifically do u recommend under my circumstances, No bodykit, which will sag slowest under normal driving conditions/decent roads, dont want slammed look, want a more softer/Luxery ride

exactly what we mentioned already...
no one ever wants their springs to sag.
if they don't want a cushy ride, they go with tokicos or coilovers.

the stechs i bought drops the front lower than the rear- so if it does sag.. it'd still be even with the front and not look like a tractor. LOL
