well, it's personal preference....IMO it'll look better dropped, but everybody as their reasons as to why they don't.
I'm seriously contemplating the same question since I'm not the one who primarily drives the car

^You should be fine with 1 finger all around then if you plan on having heavy people get in the rear.

Also if you want to avoid this..you should get wheels that are not so flushed, all my Honda friends are slammed where the fender overlaps the top of the tire, but never rub because the wheels are so in the fender.

I, myself, can not carry fat people in the car. Once I was taking one of my girlfriends out to lunch, but I didn't know her fat friend was at the house...after arguing for a while, we ended up bringing her a togo box, lol.

I just hate carrying more than one person in the car overall...makes the car soo much slower.

haha yah man, agreed!
i have 4 cousins that are 14-17 years old. i hate to see them stuck at home in the summer just coz they cant drive yet, so i haul their asses to the gym. one of them is 300+ lbs, the rest are stick figures. I always say Anas (the fat guy) isnt getting anywhere near my car, he's walking

Get it corner balanced/aligned after lowering it with coilovers. Darin will put the height to exactly where u want it.
