Which Coilovers For This Stance?

Any coil over that's adjustable for ride height. Be sure to get caster camber plates and a coil over kit with its matching strut it was designed for.

Is your end result just the hieght? Because a set of springs will accomplish that.
Go too low, and handling will suffer. Lower is not always better

Side note: lowering you car too much...make sure you check and set your pinion angle just an fyi.

The question about how low you can go depends on your particular headers and how they are mounted in your car.
Coil overs are adjustable to get the ride height you want. If the exhaust scrubs the ground....raise it up.
Go with a well known brand coil over set and you'll be alright.

Just trying to find the break off point between ride height and still handling well(with long tube headers in mind)
Do you think the car in the picture is too low to where the handling is affected negatively?

Mine's about that low and I'd say it still handles pretty good 
That's #425-lb coilovers on Koni's and an MM front end. Rear end is 550-lb conventionals on adjustable-height LCA's and a lot of
ing around with pinion angle. I don't think you'd have any hope with longtubes but that's just me.

Check your bumpsteer on your front end if you go low. Look at the angle of your control arms up front. Ideal for handling is to have them horizontal (level with your k-member). You probably won't be able to achieve that, but somewhere between 5*-10* will make your handling feel nice and tight.
Get a MM front end if you can swing it. Their standard setting k-member will move your front wheels forward 3/4". This will change your caster setting in a positive way and really change your handling a lot.
Lowering alone will cause you bump steer issues.
BTW, who's blue car is that? I absolutely LOVE that engine bay!

Car handles well rides nice and smooth, no way I could run longtubes with the engine drop mounts I have.
