Civic in the mountains. Drop height?

Hey I've got an 04 ex with custom rims 15/205's. I want to drop it, but I live in the mountains and don't want to scrape everything. Lots of dips and such in the roads and driveways around here. I want to drop it, but don't want it to not even be noticeable. I was thinking 1" drop, any opinions?

1 inch is perfect for that. noticable for sure, but not low enough to impair the car.

Thanks a ton, just wanted some confirmation, there's not shops around my area for the most part, so I kinda have to guess about functionality of some things. Can't wait to drop it, it looks like an suv.

Oh and additionally, I was looking at a set of Tein basics, coilovers and dampeners. That or just Megan springs. Both seem to have gotten decent feedback on here, but from what I understand the full set is the better way to go. Correct?

well the full setup is adjustable, but yeah that way you have shocks that work with the springs.
