19" rims and suspension

I got 19's on my civic coupe and I was wondering if I can get it dropped without rubbing against the body. Im looking into getting the H&R, 1.3 drop, what do you guys think?

i'm dropped on h&r's with 215/40/18 and I rubbed in the rear and a bit in the front (wide turn) , but I solved the problem by roller the rear fender inside. But i still rub a little bit when hitting big bumps on highway (with 3~4people in)
there's no gap in the rear maybe 1finger gap at most
about 1.5finger gap in the front(passenger) less than a finger gap(driver)

I'd say go with Eibach Prokit instead of H&R's

I've had 3 sets of 19's and only have trouble when I completely lock the front wheels. I'm dropped to the max on my B&G Coilovers... Gonna have to remove the front plastic inner fender to ride as low as I am but damn does it look good... And in the rear I'm runnin a little negative camber so I dont have to worry about rubbing.. But as long as you balance and rotate regularly its cool... LMK if you need anymore info man.. Oh and I've run 215/35/19" tires... I've run Falken Azenis St-115's and now am running the same size but in Nitto Neo Gens which are supposed to be good for running with negative camber and so far are running great....
