spring issue

hey i am looking at picking up a set of s-tech springs for my 96 sedan and i was told the drop 1.9 in front and 1.7 in back. that doesnt sound like a lot but i have 17 inch wheels so im worried if i go any lower i will have rubbing issues. what do you guys think, is this a good set up? should i go lower? what springs do you guys suggest? how are the progressives cause i was also considering those

I had these springs on my car for a couple of days and I took them back cause they handled very poorly. If you use stock struts your car will bounce all over the road and rub like mad.
