Default is this a 2 inch drop?

I am wondering if this is a 2inch drop because i just ordered kbg agx shocks for my 92 vx hatchback. I heard that these shocks wont last if the car is droped more than 2inches or so . I have skunk2 coilovers on the car right now and i dont know how i can tell how much i am dropped.

looks like 2.25 to me too since you hardly got a finger gap.

looks like 2" to 2.5" drop...somewhere in that range... for a nice suspension setup... for a nice hatch...seats are nice

How is anyone supposed to know by looking at it?

Like the guy above me said, use a tapemeasure. Put the new assembly next to your stock assembly and check the difference.
