It's pretty difficult to quantify these types of things. Handling is not only determined by springs, shocks, and ride height, but also largely by tires, anti-sway bars, track or road surface, DRIVER SKILL, bushings (age and material), alignment settings, all these things. Somewhere between 1.5 and 2" is a good number for good looks and excellent handling if you don't have to deal with snow or anything like that. I love my current suspension setup but I still want to add more upgrades to the suspension as a whole. Whenever the $$$$ comes in.
