Default Safe Assumption?

Just got the new ride and while I really would LOVE to install Tien FLEX, it is more affordable and realistic for me to go with the H&R / Bilstein combo. I would love to get good springs that get me 2", however I don't think that is possible?

Is it safe to assume that the below and after (Photoshop) represents the expected H&R 1.5 drop?

With a 1.5" drop on 17's, you should have almost a 2.5 finger gap. Your photochop looks a little low. More like a 2 finger gap. But it's pretty close.

When I had the L-sportlines, I had a 2" drop on 19's and had a 2 finger gap up front. But I was on 35 series tires.

Hey LXOGOOD, how did you drop it 2"? Coilovers? Are there any decent springs that can get you down 2"?

Thanks.
