Lowering?

hey. i am thinking of lowering my SS but i am not sure how much i should lower it?! i dont want to be scraping everywhere but i want it low enough to get rid of most of the wheel gap and have a nice stance. so i am looking at the eibach lowering springs, 1.6" in the front and then 1.8" in the rear. would that be enough to lower the car? or should i go something like 2.0" in front and 2.5" in rear!?!?!i dont know what is a nice but safe drop. Let me know what you guys/girls have and maybe some pictures if possible!?!!
thanks, Chris

Whatever drop you decide to do, make sure you get camber caster bolts and an alignmnent so you don't wear out the inside edge of your tires.

Here is what you need. Do not install the springs without these unless you want to buy tires every other month.
