i doubt they have a specific drop, its prolly some a/c custom coilover suspension...if u want a drop like that i'd suggest checking out GATO, he just got a coilover suspension and should be able top accomodate a ride height of the a/c

since there isnt any finger gap and its tucking a little bit of tire, i would roughly guess 2.3-2.5 inches.. i had a 1 finger gap with my 1.7 drop in the front on 19s w/ 35 series tires
