If that is the case and I lowered my car 1.5 inches with H&R sports and 17" rims then my cats would be 4 inches from the ground correct?
Is that how it works?

Ok thank you.
Something really weird though... I remeasured my cats on flat ground (they are the lowest point under the car) and it has 5inches of clearance.
On another forum I posted that they had 5inches of clearance when I had my h&r super sports on.
I thought that since it was lowered 2 inches, the cats would get lowered as well.
That would mean that with the H&R ss they were 3 inches from the ground. Perhaps I mismeasured when I had the ss on, but its hard to beleive I mismeasured by 2 inches.
Do the Cats go down with the drop?
Thanks again

never measured it myself.
