I have sportlines on my car (1.4 inch drop) and i have yet to scrape the front of the car or bottom out anywhere. Luckily the car has pretty short overhangs. I live downtown in a fairly large city with pretty terrible roads and the entrance to my underground parking is pretty steep but i can still enter and leave without having to do the sideways thing.

I think you'll be fine with a 1 inch drop unless you have some crazy speed bumps around where you live.

i have the hotchkis springs that are also 1 inch all around. no problems so far, just take it slow over speed bumps and sloped driveway/parking lot entrances and you'll be fine

your parking garage comment is relative, my house has an incline that is beyond 45 degrees in incline, 9 inches tall, and unless i reverse in at an angle, ill scrape all day long. i can come out the driveway and be on three wheels. I'm on eibach pros, stock struts.

Jesus that sounds like the worst driveway ever lol...

Obviously everyone's situation is going to be different, but mine is steep enough that a buddy with a stock corvette grand sport can't get into the underground.
