Lowering springs, or ground control, or mookeen mk1, or what?

alright guys, im running some kyb agx's with eibach progressives with a .8 in drop.

i was running (looked perfect, just a little tall)
225/50/16 up front
245/55/16 rears

now i have
205/50/16 all around
but now i have this ungodly amount of negitive space in the wheel wells.

i like the eibachs, but cutting them is out of the question, so that brings me to....

tien or suspension techniques 1.5-1.75 in drop
or ground control slip ons - 0-1.5 in -$375
mk1 slip ons- says 1.5-2 in drop, i hope its 0-1.5 or so, not a minimum of 1.5- $175

true fully adjustable coilovers out of my price range rigt now. so any thoughts?
any feedback on the gc or mk1's slip on coilovers seem like they wouldnt be a good idea, but...maybe?

How about instead of going for a "look" you actually do something to improve the car rather than remove what minuscule suspension travel you have left. Why don't you go out right now and turn your wheel. Feel underneath your shock boot and get a rough estimate of the distance between the shock body and the bump stop...yeah it's not a lot. So rather than nullifying the effect of any fancy new suspension try to get the RB strut mounts so what you do have works first.
