1.5-2" is about the limit of most shocks before bottoming out on the bump stops. If you get shorten shocks you could drop more but not advisable.
I second that quote, and yes, 2" is the very max you want to lower it if your still wanting descent handling. if you go any lower, yes you can get a shock/spring setup that works, but remember, its gonne be stiffer the lower you go since there is less travel on the strut. yes, stiff is good, but you dont want to drive a brick, where every pebble you hit in the road makes your car bounce around. Also, i would beleive most of what CivicSiRacer is saying, since he more than likely has the more hands on experience than your average joe.
