IMO 40mm is the perfect drop for our cars.

IMO= In my opinion
Your wheels look so small lol but with those tires and the bodykit I say maybe 1.5 all around to be safe.

With that bodykit you probably don't want to lower your car too far.. or do you?
I have the df210 and the drop is not 2.2 inches... it is only slightly over 1 3/4 inches up front and a little less in the rear... But, if you are planning on lowering your car really low, and have the monetary units availabile to do so, i'd suggest getting some adjustable coilovers like the tein's malpaso has Here or the ksports tim86 has Here. in a few weeks i will have the tanabe pro s-oc type I coilovers.  if anyone is interested here is the thread where we are having a discussion on the tanabe coilovers. Here.,here is a pic of the ground clearance on the tanabe df210's which is not as much of a drop as i want  .
