I'd say shoot for a 1-1.25" drop. Any lower and you'll probably start hitting the pipes on speed bumps.
Look around at different springs, determine the spring rate you want and find something you like.

Re: Which lowering springs?
I installed Hotckis sport springs that lowered ther rear 2 inches and I ran into the same problem, wheels rubbed so I installed shackles on the rear of the springs for a 1 inch lift giving no wheee rub on launches. so I ended up with 1 inch drop and can always lower the shackles if I ever go with smaller tires.
