Good drop look

Anybody have any opinions on what a good drop rate looks good for our cars? should the drop of springs be the same for front and back or does one have to be higher?

Seems that around here (SE Florida) the rate of drop is from none (stock) to stupid (can't even get across a parking lot at more than 2 MPH) 'cause their dragging so badly.

I'll go 1" to 2" when I do mine - I'm trying to improve car handling in the real world that we drive - not some make-believe race-car world.

Most people are dropping around 1.5 inches all the way around. But if you get some coilovers (GC), they are adjustable.
