This is coming from a person who has 0 idea about cars so bear with me.

If I buy a Porsche boxster and simply want to lower it a bit (for looks) & don't intend to take it to tracks and simply do street driving without worrying about speed bumps and pot holes what do I need to buy EXACTLY?

1) I don't want to lower it to the point where I hit my bottom with speed bumps etc ... just want to lower it as much as possible without hitting the bottom somewhere.
2) I want a smooth ride, i don't want my body jumping every time I ride over a small bump.
3) Simple street/highway driving + not having to worry about speed bumps & pot holes what is the max I can lower the boxster?
4) I intend to keep my boxster for a long time as a daily driver/everyday car

I read some definitions of the terms used here.
->Coilovers - help lower the car
->Shocks/Spring/Suspension - what come stock with the car & help absorb the shock from pot holes/bumps on the road
->FSD - no idea still
->Struts - no idea still
->Spacers - read definition but don't fully understand it

Why are H&R spring set $315 while their h&r coilover set is $1790.
What's the difference if the springs can also lower the vehicle ... why buy more expensive lowering coilover's?

Basically I want my boxster to look like this:
Imgur: The most awesome images on the Internet

How much is this lowered by approx?
What 'wheels' does it have?
What 'tires' does it have?


Again guys, I am new to cars. Sorry.

Thanks!
