There are a lot of threads about lowering and it's really simple.On the rear you have 2 bolts(through the leafspring)which have to be longer in a way.Do this by turning the nuts from these bolts counter clockwise untill you have 2 or 3 threads left.On the front these bolts have to be rotated counter clockwise also so that the bushing(underneath the leafspring) comes in contact with the leafspring.This is in a way "on stock bolts" and will give you 1-1,5 inch.

Lower it to the max on the stock bolts. Give it a few days to settle then get a 4 wheel alignment.

Your car looks excellent

Good choice on wheels and you're right, the car will look better when you lower it!
