How much drop should I expect?

I decided on B-springs for my '96 GT. It currrently has C-springs, with one and a half coils cut from the rear. I don't know if this killed the rears, but now my car bottoms out...I guess, but it makes a loud bang sound over bumps.

Recently I put KYB struts in the front, and just last week some cheapo Gabriel shocks in the rear. I was hoping this would cure some of the problem, neglecting the possibility that the C's could be bad after four years!

I have also ordered rear LCA bushings as those are shot, too. This, I hope, will solve that...grinding noise under hard acceleration.

My question is: how low do you think the B-springs will drop my car? Here is what I have in the suspension:

MM CC plates
Steeda X2 Ball Joints
Urethane bushings in swaybars
Urethane spring isolators
And the KYB's in front and Gabriel's in back

Will these dampeners work okay with the B-springs? At least for awhile?

I hope this works and at least makes the ride a little more like stock and enable the car to handle some bumps without catupulting its passengers into the roof!

Thanks in advance!

TtT!!!!

Since I posted this, I'm feeling quite comfortable about my choice of springs. However, people are saying that the C's yield the same drop as the B's. When I put the C's in my car, the rear was VERY high! It was so high, in fact, that I resorted to cutting one and a half coils from the rear springs. The car finally sits level. I waited three months for the much talked about settled drop...but it never came for my car.

Setting aside the aesthetics, is the rake bad in any other way? I mean I don't mind the rake, I guess, especially since it will give more distance between the undercarriage and ground, but I'm concerned mostly with handling and potential problems associated a rake. Should I be worried?

Thanks!
