Either domo arigato or arigato gozaimasu ;-)

Dunno about the shocks. Any lowering of the car will eat into the bump travel of the suspension. How much you can lower it depends on how much bump-travel you need. 2cm will be fine, 4cm is already pushing it but ok on asfalt etc etc.

I would recommend against progressive springs..they make the car unpredictable and do almost nothing for comfort. Comfort is 90% a buisiness of buying decent digressive shocks, springs have far less influence. With progressive springs the car body first leans and then loads up the suspension. Works fine if you are doing just one corner, but gets you very tricky weightshifts during transitions, slaloms etc..drive a miata on stock suspension and you'll know what I mean. 2nd spin, or tankslapper can be ferocious with these springs.

A wheel to steer the front of the car
A pedal to steer the rear
