Default Safe lowering on Tokico blues?

So right now I'm in 4x4 mode on my Civic, and my buddy is selling me his tokico blues, and another buddy is selling me his ground control coilovers from his teg which have collars for blues. I've talked to some local autocrossers and they recommended a decent suspension on the cheap would be the blues and high spring rate coilovers. The GC's are ridiculously high off the shelf, but I figure they are alot higher than stock. So what kind of lowering can I get out of the blues before the life drops off dramatically? I'm a broke college kid, I can't afford to be replacing dampers all the time, or to buy good **** in the first place (yellows/400F500R GC's FTMFW).

2 inches ok? Maybe 1 and a half, when I get it aligned I'm probaly gonna have it corner weighted, so I need to know how much room for adjustment I'm gonna have.
