I had RSR Down springs on my car on stock shocks, which was rated at a 2" drop. It was flush in the front, and about .5" gap in the back. I'm planning on picking up some Koni yellows and Eibach Pro-Kit today, I'll probably have them installed by next week.

I have ground control coilovers, and I have a 2" drop in front and ~1.5" in back, and it looks really aggressive, IMO. The front tires (215/40/16) are flush with the fenders and the backs have about a half inch of gap.

not really. The difference in gap between the front and the back doesn't make it look like it's going to plow into stuff, it just makes the lines of the car look... better, IMO.

I personally like it when the car is level. When the car is level, there's usually more gap in the front because the fender is bigger in the front. More suspension travel is needed in the front where the car is heavier, not in the back, IMO

i would save up for some coilovers. I'm riding on h&rs, but you could also go tein gound control or skunk. When you lower w/ springs, sometimes you might not like the drop, w/ coilovers you can adjust to your liking. here's mine, dump to the max.

It kinda depends on your rim size... and I prefer coilovers to get the 'perfect drop'
When I was on 15's, I dropped 2.25" in front and 2" in rear, on 17's (pic) I dropped approx. 2" front and 1.75" rear.
I liked a little gap, so when I (230lbs) drove with passengers...the car wasn't slammed:
