Height question

I know some of you guys know about the H&R race springs. What is the true drop I can expect to get (settling and all) with a set of these on my hatch? I have been reading different specs from 1.75 all the way to 2.75 ?? Anyone have an accurate quote? pic maybe?

1 more question... Would I be OK dropping my STD 2.5 inches with the steelies on? with no (or little I should say) rub or bottoming out?

Thanks

MNy girl has H&R's on her 99 hatch. The drop is pretty low. Check my homepage on page 2.

Her drop looks perfect B16...

I think I may have to shell out and get the race springs... I know I would be disapointed if I did not... Only want to do this once...
