errr....2". the back end of both 7Gs and 8Gs are pretty decent. you can always go for that tucked look, but you'll never clear a speed bump because i barely can. i dropped the front 3.5". my drain pain is literally 2 inches off the ground

If you have 17s you can go pretty low without rubbing, when I had my coilover setup and 17s I dropped it 3 inches (maybe a bit more) all the way around. The ride was crappy but it was slammed.

If you have 18s you'll rub over bumps and dips with the Eibach pro-kit drop, not sure about 17s.
