you can get skunk2's or GC and slam them all the way with stock rims and tires with minimal rub.

1.8?? what's your idea of stock...18s!
on stock width tires (175/185) you don't rub until it's down about 3.5 to 4in.
you won't rub on just coilovers turned all the way down...

sure you can go 3+ inches down but unless you drive like a grandma you're goning to be on the bumpstops all day... and nothing ruins a nice corner like coming down hard on the bumpstops and the car sliding out from under ya... Alot of it depends on what youre gonna run for hardware but about 1.5-2" down with bumpstops cut in half is a good bet for drivability on an EF...
