Different Spring Height Drops?

I'm looking to get new springs, but I don't want the drop height to be, "slammed"....or "ghetto". I went ahead and got the polished rims, so I plan on keeping these (16s). I really hate the look of the wheelwells dropping below the tires. My goal is to remove the grandma car look, help the handling, but stay the hell away from the ghetto look!

What are the average levels of drop heights?
Spool, H&R, Ebiach ?

Spool will drop your ride 2" all the way around...
H&R will drop about 1.5"...
Eibach will drop 1.2" in the front 1.4" in the rear. My opinion is Eibach. You're not putting to much stress on your shocks and the height is just right. check out my www for images.

**FYI**

I'll probably be selling a set of Spool springs. Never user! Still in the box...
 
i just posted in another thread, but get tein s-tech springs. optauto.com has them for 180 i think, the drop is 1.4 front and 2.0 in the rear. im pretty sure it is around those numbers and the ride is smooth, for me at least hhaha. well good luck man - chris
