its all about u. wutever u want. i not gonna be a dick, but a lot of people r gonna rag on u for asking such a stupid and self explanitory question.
i dont really get wut ur saying. r u asking how low u can or just a good height.
in my opinion, right where the tire is about a centimeter below the fender(gap in between/space)
of course u could be ghetto and go so low it rubs wen u turn.
heres mine:

my opinion that actually a good drop, and if you say it not bouncy, that good for you my current set up is Eibach Pro-Kit. 1.3F 1.5R it nice and i like it alot. if you really cant decide on what hieght do you want. i would recommand you getting a coilover set up (if you need to replace your strut/shock) tien basic (average $800-1000) or Eibach Street Kit.

the company is D2 coilovers runs about 800 shipped check sponsor section
as for can i lower it more yes.
i can lower the front 2 more inches and the rears i can probably lower it another 3 inches.
its not bouncy at all UNLESS i crank up the adjustment to full hard then its just super stiff but still not bouncy

I think he was making fun of the guy with the stock wheels painted black with a red line like the Volk CE28N Time Attatcks.

Re: how much inches to drop a ek hatch? (civiceg94)
It also depends on how big your wheels are, If your running stocks 14's, 15's a 2-2.5 inch drop would be fine 16's probably a 2 inch drop would be fine. Im running TEIN S tech springs (-1.7 front, -1.9 rear) on mine with 16" wheels 205/45/16 tire. and I can fit a finger between the tire and fender. No rubbing at all. They ride smooth too.

Re: how much inches to drop a ek hatch? (99EM1)
Buy some good coilovers and drop to desired height. If you go with springs, get a 'race' spring (2.5" drop +) if you want to totally eliminate the gap. I have Ground Controls on KYB AGX's and my tires are tucking ever so slightly on 15's and the car rides good. Over 2 years dropped that low on the AGX's and they are still performing great, so they can take more than a 1.5" drop. Good luck.
