Apollo Coilovers - W204 Drop Height help

Hey guys, I'm getting a set of coilovers custom made here in taiwan by a brand called Apollo, it's a trusted brand here. I was wondering what a good height to drop the front and rear would be? I've been reading a lot and with the H&R super sports springs it seems to drop the front 1 3/4 of an inch and the back 1 1/2? That seems too low for the w204 wagon that I'll be fitting the coilovers on, any advice regarding coilovers/w204 wagon is appreciated. thanks in advance!

Super sports are low enough for daily driving not low enough to look great just make the max drop a little more than super sports since its coils you can adjust

if you are carting people around in your car you might not want to be as low as supersports for daily driving. I know when i have 2 people in my back seat i rub going over bumps and dips. then again im running 19x9.5/265 in the rear, and youll be on coils so slam it

thanks guys, i think ill be going with a less aggressive drop as its my dad's wagon (his daily car) and if those coils work out good for him then i will get a set for myself too and slam it down. haha, the wagon's measurements should be the same as our sedans tho, right?

Keep us posted. I would love to get a set of custom coilovers to replace my H&R. It's not giving me the satisfying stance.
