Default The right drop for 20" wheels

I have a 09 non-sport, I'm looking to get a nice set of 20" wheels but I'm thinking a drop will be necessary to give it the proper look. Are most of the drops I see on this forum the eibach 0.9/0.8? I don't want to go too low since I'm in metro New York and the roads are pathetic

For springs, most ppl go with Eibach prokit, and for a little more of a drop H&R.

just remember the lower you go, the higher the chances that you will need camber kits. eibachs are a great compromise without camber kits (most of the time) for looks and comfort.
