Default Is a 2.5 inch drop too much for my EG?

I'm going to be slamming my eg with H& R race springs.

My current wheels are 15 inch rota jmags, with 195/50/15 tires. will this be a perfect drop? post pics of your car and how much you dropped it. no coil overs please, just springs.

It's kind of a subjective thing if you ask me. I wouldn't go that low, but it's my opinion.

with the 195/50/15 its going to be perfect. I have the neuspeed race which is nearly the same thing and it's great.

I have skunk2 race springs, they advertise a 2.5 inch drop. I'm o 16x7 slips with 205/40 tires and its pretty damn low. Although my front end i think might be ever so slightly higher than the rear. I want to go lower but with roads around here it's not a good idea.
