1.75 will take away a good amount of it, but not all of it. Normally, it looks only slightly lower, until you compare it back to what it really looked like stock and the fender cap that was there.
What size wheels are you running on it, tires?

invest in adjustable coils instead of guesstimating how low some springs claim to lower your car and you end up regretting it being too low or too high for your taste
