Since it sounds like this is solely for aesthetics it's all up to you. In my case when I used my Robispec springs I thought the car was at a pretty good height. Now with my Ohlins after getting the car corner balanced its probably more like a 1.5" drop which I'm not too thrilled about since I dd the car as well.

I'd say go for about 3.5" drop. That's what they have for formula one.
