what height should i ride at?

hello. I recently bought used ground control coilovers, and it came with stock struts(great so i can replace with my original stocks if i need to) fo my 05 coupe. im thinking of putting a 1.5 inch drop all around. so i wont have to worry about camber( anywayz got a camber kit)so right know i just want some opinions on what how much of a drop i should put it. i want a mean looking dropped ride with not alot of gap but not too low to where ill hit ground easily. it says the drop goes from .5-2.5 so any suggestions. Oh yea this is my daily driver to school and on they way to school i go through around-about(intersection with no lights but just go around in circles). right now i got some steelies on but planning on 17" so any suggestions will be helpful.

keep it at 2.o or less there is no reason to go lower for a dd and u r using stock shock so the ride is not going to be good

seriously i would love to drop it 2.5 but that way to low. and the roads here in lbc isnt that great. i would for sure blow my shocks, bottom out with stock shocks, and scrape so bad (lot of deep dips while exiting lots). thanx for the suggestions anyone else. thinking of less than 2. what would give me a somewhat comfortable ride (i know you really cant with stockers and coilovers) and have it looked lowered.
