Appropriately lowering the 986

I am considering appropriately lowering my 986 and would welcome some counsel on the ideal set up to make this happen. MY 98 986 currently has the OEM springs and Bilstein Sport shock absorbers. I am looking to lower it for purely for aesthetic purposes, but want to avoid lowering it and then dealing with:

a) the vehicle bottoming out
b) rub issues over bumps or scrubbing the outside edge of the fenders
c) the inability to align the vehicle to OEM specifications. I am open to ordering a set of adjustable arms if it is needed to the align to OEM specs.

My questions: Is H&R the way to go or Eibach will be a better option? and, will Eibach or H&R be compatible with the Bilstein Sport shock absorbers.

Also, is utilizing adjustable coil over a better option for lowering to better meet the requirements I have?

Again, would welcome the counsel of fellow members who have contemplated or made this change to avoid unnecessary headaches.
