I think stock ride height is about 1.7" of gap. Not sure if it varies from year to year either. I remember reading that measurement here and when I dropped mine, I calculated a 1.7" drop (top of tire to fender) too. After two weeks of driving, I had to readjust for settling.

I went by the Tein SS instructions and set from the bottom of the shock to the adjustment rings to 1 inch. I think that lowers the car about 1.7" front and rear according to the Tein technical website.
