I went Out and measured and a 2-2.5" drop is sitting on the tires. I think a nice 1-1.5 would be perfect

Depends on what you use the car for...Im dropped on h&r sports, drop looks nice but not even close to rubbing and i can still have 4 ppl in the car without rubbing. Also thats with19x8.5 rims w/ 245 width tires ... just my .02

Forgot to mention it looks almost identical to what u did in the pic

ok i know you are not going to want it this low but when i had it this low i didn't really have any rubbing issue except sharp incline, but for you i would say a little less than and inch higher than mines

Do whatever suits you best. I think that height looks fine. Anything is better than stock height thats for sure.

You won't unless you're running 15mm wheel spacers or more. But the a-spec suspension would give you an identical drop to what you did on your picture.

Dan, that looks fine. It's a respectable drop without being slammed.

Just match the fender to the top of the tire. No wheel gap = sex.

As long as there is no gap for the wheels up front and the fender is slightly covering the rear tires it will look great ..remember the front fenders are cut higher than rear

That's what I call a PERFECT drop. Tastefully dropped.
