Default Help me estimate my drop

I been using sleeve coilovers for a while along with tokico blues. I dont like adjust them for one, the ride is to stiff, and overall I am not to happy with the setup. It might be good for the track, but my daily driving is very satisfying to me. I want to go with spring/strut setup. Need your guys help on figuring out what you think my drop is by looking at this pic of my wheel gap with my 17's on. I have the coilovers adjust perfectly, to the height I want them at. I just need help figuring out what is the drop in the front, 1.3" 1.5" perhaps?

thanks, you dont know how much of a bitch it is finding wheels that clear this brake kit. With springs now. I know most companies offer a lower front than rear due to the non-symmetric design of the fenders. With the B18b1 under my hood. Would it make more sense to go with integra springs cause of the added weight. I have never had regular springs on my car, just sleeved coil overs. So some of this is foreign to me

Why is your bumper falling off? (Nice brake kit by the way)

lol the bumper is not falling off, thats just how its on cause the fiber glass isnt a perfect fit. I was thinking the sportlines would be the best bet as well.
