Yeah there will be a slight difference, but if you did it 'right', it will be less than 1% of overall height.

Way too low. Like everyone else has said, there might be something wrong. I've gone with just a 1" drop on Eibach Pro-Kit springs and it fills out the wheel wells just right. Any more of a drop and you are asking for trouble.

I cant believe so many people think its way too low though, if you can drive carefull, you wont have problems or at least I dont.

I dont know where you live but in all the places Ive lived in Illinois, Indiana, Florida, and Texas if you drive around with a car THAT low you WILL eventually regret it. Ive seen funny things happen to ricers and gangbanger lowriders on bumpy roads and railroad tracks... More so in the northern states since the streets up there are all torn up from the weather, nothing like a rousing game of "dodge the pothole" in Chicago. Where Im at now everything is all hilly, I have to take my time driving around some places and Im at stock ride height. Ive hit my share of "phantom speed bumps" and I shudder at the thought of if my car was lowered when I hit those damn things.
