Default whats a good drop for a 96 teg on 205 40 17s?

whats a good drop for a 96 teg on 205 40 17s without bottoming out everywhere. i also dont want my tires to rub on the fenders. also what kind of springs should i get? my friend said to get KYB GR-2 shocks because the stock shocks will snap over time because they arent supposed to be compressed that much. should this give me a smooth *** ride? and were lookin to do it ourselves, it shouldnt be that hard, right? thanks guys

More drop = requires higher spring rates

How much dental insurance you have = bump stops or not

My girlfriend's integra had a 1.75" fr and 1.5" r neuspeed sport drop, with 205/40/17, and it did rub ocassionally and it is probably too low. I have neuspeed springs, and they are great springs, but you don't want to drop it too much. It always seems like a good idea to drop it as much as possible, but it is easy to over do it, and you will regret it later.
