Now im scared to get rims and the springs, I dont want the ride quality to be affected its perfect right now...
Cant I just take it my dealers performance center were I got my exhaust and spoiler from and tell them to lower the car 2 inches and put on 21inch rims, Im pretty sure they will order everything for me and do a really good job.

When you start dealing with 20" and 21" rims, they tend to be wider wheels as well, usually. You have to take into consideration everything when determining what will fit with your car....the offsets, wheel widths, tire widths, etc.
Like I said, your tire will get thinner and thinner on the sidewall as you go bigger and bigger.....to the point that you will easily bend a wheel if you hit any kind of pothole or expansion joint, esp. ones bigger than 20".
BTW, HRE's will cost you over $6K, and that's just for the wheels alone.

When you end up getting the wrong set-up bc you listened to your dealer, please let me know so I can say...
"I told you so!".
