Assuming the overall wheel/tire diameter is the same, you should be able to drop it 1.75, MAYBE 2" (probably not, though) depending on what springs/dampers/coilovers you get.

Since this topic is up right now I might as well ask...
I'm planning on the Eibach Prokit for my 02 ex. Should only drop an inch (according to Eibach). Is it necessary to get rear control arms with the camber kit? Not replacing the shocks and struts just yet but will be shortly.
