First of all, Arden should be able to advise here, they have provided you a kit and I would assume they should be able to recommend.

2" lower is a lot imho, and you would require a special setup for this. If not your tires are going to be eaten on the inside pretty quick. I am not a specialist in this area, but you will need one to get a special setting for the height you prefer. It will also take some work to get the camber right on the rear as you need to replace shims on the drive axle.

My advice would be to choose the ride height as you like and then set the suspension geometry right for that.

Assumed you had a 308 as then you need to replce shims at the rear, don't know it for the 358.

yes it is a 358 going up to -1,25 negative camber may help.
