The drop is rated at 23mm rear 20mm front. Not slammed, but IMO it sits perfectly.

Before:
After:
To be fair, the ground wasn't exactly level in either set of pictures. The drop is perfect. .75" in the rear and 1.0" in the front. I don't worry about scraping and have yet to rub or bottom out.
Again, big thanks to Andy for helping out with the install!

Hey Justin, drop looks good! Did you notice a significance increase in handling after the sways, springs, and steering rack?

I don't have the front sway on yet, and need an alignment bad (hopefully tomorrow if I can get an appt.), but the initial impressions are very, very, very good...
