suggestions on drop

im putting on some ghostlinks in the coming furture. and was wondering if i could get some suggestions on how far to drop (lower) my car. shes currently sitting on 22's, staggered of course. wanted to know what height to adjust too. wheel well edge - ground = in inches. so if i confused anyone the measurement between the edge of the wheel well and the ground. for the front and back please.

Thanks all who can help!!

I did a quick 4cm drop measured from the ground to wheelwell edge and got flamed by one of the members for it..not that I care much but apparently its more then recommended,so could damage your suspension???
They say a 3cm drop (1,18110236 inches edit thanks castro69 ) would look perfect..
I would keep front and back the same for the balancing of the whole car/braking-system .
Best is just to start and see how it looks like for your taste and don't forget to post pics please ?
