With 17's if you want a comfortable ride I'd suggest going 1.5 drop. I have an 02ex and in my gallery you can see it dropped 1.6" with 16's on. It's a nice drop.

^ that really depends on how you want it to ride, lower you go, the stiffer and more performance you'll get but the comfort of the ride will suffer.

^ first, it CAN be boosted, just not with huge amounts of boost. As for the difference in the heads besides the A2 having VTEC I'm not really sure if there is any other difference. Check out the DIY section and the write I did on that manifold swap.
