Default how far will sportline go?

OK, heres a big question, stock theres about a 4inch gap between my tire and top of my wheel well. Now Eibach says it will lower it aroudn 1.8. I really dont want more than a 2.5 in drop. Can anyone who has had these tell me if it really only lowers it 2inches?

some people like the sportlines, but i had to take them off because they cause me alot of problems, my car was SLAMMED on them. the rims were tucked, and my control arm was hitting the inside of my fender well, i went through a couple of them before i got the situation fixed. I had to shafe the inner fenderwell and the tip of the control arm, more trouble than they are worth, the settle and sag alot!

I have gone through 3 different setups and the eibachs are the best yet.....first I had sprint springs which dropped it like 2.5" in front and 2.2" in back....that thing had camber even after a camber kit....my mudflap was like an inch or 2 off the ground, then I got some cheesy *** ebay coilovers those SUCKED....then I got some sportlines and they ride smoooooth but still have less body roll than my coilovers and my sprints...here is a pic of my 4th gen with sportlines:
There is about a 1 finger gap in front and none in back....its perfect.

Ugh, that is one horrible bumper....looks like a snowplow But if you like it....its your car.

I had sportlines on my 5th gen and it dropped it like 3" Seriously, the tires were fully tucked on 17" rims. I don't know why that was but the ride quality was still super. I have since switched to Apexi full coils but I was really happy with the sportlines. I put some lips on though, so I had to get it off the ground
