i think it matters what shocks you use. on my stune shocks i now have just barely one finger gap from the top of the tires to the fender lip. and if my math is correct thats well over an inch drop for me. i dont have mesurements taken before so sorry.....
side note i cant honestly say i like these springs. the drop is exactly what i wanted but they do not handle the sh!tty roads i drive on. if the road is smooth then yes great bank for the buck, but if the roads suck you better take it easy. one nasty expansion or dip on a two lane road and you can get squirrely real quick.

thats water and dirt on my car, not jacked up paint spots.
