I would love to know the answer to this one. I also want a really low drop but noone here seems to like the slammed look. They'll probably call you rice.

Eibachs will drop your car very low.

EDIT : Mine are for sale, local pick up though. $200, brand new.

I personally don't think Eibachs (1") are low enough for me.

Eibach's with 19's, theres definately a gap. I think H&R's will eliminate the gap? H&R, Tanabe GF-210 or Sprint owners please help!!!

Eibachs tend to settle down more then 1 inch.

i have h & r's on my car. and in the rear there is like a 1/2inch gap and in the front no gap at all. i also have 20's on my car if that helps you at all. i beleive h & r's have the lowest drop for a spring. if you want your tires to tuck you'll have top get some coilovers.

Get the right offsets/spacers and you should be happy.
There are some springs that drop > 1" out there:

with my Tanabe NF210s it lowered it about 1.5, and i have pretty much zero tiregap. I dont scrape, but i am cautious and take speed bumps at an angle, but i was doing that before. Heres a pic on stock 18 track rims.

another angle.

I was gonna go with Eibachs, but almost everyone has them, so i thought i would try something different, and my gf got them for me for christmas. I think their perfect.
