Did you correct the camber with adjustable plates?
If not, then there's your reason for the tires and mounts. And the brake line failure can be prevented with longer hoses and/or addition of rubber sleves on the brake lines where the hose meets the fitting.

I'm still fuzzy oin what you want, but to lower:
1. You need to either shorten the spring or lower its lower mounting
2. change the shock stroke proportionately, since it must now move lower, and you dont want it to bottom out and break
3. re align pretty much everything-and it may not entirely get within specs
So you are best to get a fully engineered kit with new struts and springs. All else stays exactly the same. Biggest benefit is lower center of mass
One could simply buy a factory sport setup, btu they cost mroe than aftermarket.
