Default Lowered measurements and pic request

I'm trying to pick the lowering springs to install and need some help. The problem is that when I see the after pics of the springs on other cars it seems that they dropped a lot more than what they were supposed to. For example Eibach sportlines are supposed to drop the front 1.3" and the rear 2" on a 2014 gt. According to my before wheel/fender gap measurements(2" front and 3" back) that would still leave me .7" in front and 1" in back. All the pics I have seen looks like the wheels are almost tucked under. I understand that these are not intended to be exact numbers but it would help if some of yall had before and after wheel/fender gap measurements and pics. I want it lowered but not slammed. Maybe somewhere around 1" of fender gap left all around. I hope this makes sense.

I dont have measurements for you, but the Eibach Pro sounds like the kit you want. Aprox 1" of clearance on the front wheels and 1.5 on the rear. At least thats how it was with the stock 19" wheels and 245 40 19 & 255 45 19 tires.

My clearance up front now with 255 45 18's is about the same up front as the 19's, but in the rear with 295 45 18's I have maybe 1/2 inch of clearance.

I just lowered mine on the Eibach Sportlines and couldn't be any happier.

Measuring from the ground up to the fender, front measures slightly under 27 1/2" and the rear is at 27 3/4".

Here's a few after pictures...wheels at tires are aftermarket, but same overall diameter as stock.
