I have H&R race springs with Koni yellows. The spring drop is 2 in the front 1.75 in the rear. Nice drop on stock struts. When I upgraded to the Koni's I was able to raise and lower the vehicles ride height by and inch (higher and lower). Just keep that in mind... the lower I went the worse the ride was because my shocks would bottom out. I am happy with the ride height being higher on a firmer setting (it doesn't look as good I'll admit) but the ride quality is much better than when it was slammed.

I have 1.5"F and 1.25"R drop on Neuspeed sports for now. I used to have the race ones, which are 1.75"F and 1.5"R, and I could tell the difference because I don't scrape coming out of my driveway with the sport springs.

If you want to get rid of the fender gap, I suggest you go with a 1.7" drop over the 1.5" since you are running thinner tires than I am.
