Default questions on a drop and wheels

I'm lookin' at some nuspeed sport lowering springs 2.0-2.25 inches and i was wondering if anyone has a similar drop distance on 16s and someone else on 17s...i'm trying to decide the total drop to get, and what size wheels with that drop... Thanks

I have the neuspeed sport springs on my 97 V6. The drop in the front is 1.75' and the rear is 1.50'. I also have 17' rims. In the front, only one of my fingers can fit bewteen the tire and fender. In the rear, i can easily fit two fingers in between the fender an top of the tire. I hope this helps.

Here is a pic of my Accord my RS-R drop (2.50inches) with 16 inch wheels. I think 16s will look fine with a 2.25 inch drop. It was originally a 2.25inch drop, but I cut an extra coil off for the extra drop. I think RS-R's ride better than Neuspeeds, but that's just my opinion. Neuspeeds are stiffer than RS-R, but handling is probably better.



Here is a pic of my Accord 2 years ago on 17's:
