well, my car was lowered almost what appears to be about 3.5" when I first got it (previous owner scares me after seeing what he knowingly was riding on - apc coilovers w/ one of them having just a cut stock spring on a apc coilover sleeve). Umm, that was way too low, and a terrible ride anyway.
I just today "lowered it" 2.5" from stock in the front and 2.25" in the rear (or vice versa, I forget now). Looks like it'll be plenty of ground clearance, and still "look good" I guess.
Anyhow, I say go with the pro-kit or something like that, a mild drop if any, I'm not really a big fan of big drops and QUALITY suspension pieces is the key. I had a pro-kit suspension on my accord, loved it, actually rode better than stock (i think stock springs were worn though)
