Default lowering civic hatch...height?

After im fully done with my swap and turbo...and after my paint im going to be lowering my car. Right now from the previous owner it has Eibach springs on i believe OEM struts. Its not lowered very much at all if any it looks, but the ride is pretty rough on anything over 45mph on a bumpy road. And mostly all roads up here suck.

I will be running 16'' rota Grid rims...no idea tire size yet probably something in the effect of a 205/45/16. Thats what I had on my integra and it was plenty, never bent a rim and the ride really didnt change that much as opposed to stock.

I was wondering whats a safe height to drop the hatch at? Should i look into full coilovers or mix and match a spring with a shock? I know alot of people are going to say search, and i came up with alot of strut MFG's but every one in those threads said to pick a spring and then pic a shock so they work together.

I would like my car lower, but not slammed. I wouldnt mind it having the front bumper about 3'' off the ground with my 99-00 front end and a SI lip.

So far, the only suggestion i got at honda-tech is 3'' lowered with full omni power coilovers.
