For those with staggered 20s...
How much of a drop did you guys do? I currently have revised z springs and dspecs, the drop is definitely not enough. I'm currently thinking about going eibach sportlines 1.6" drop all around, and I most likely will have to roll my fenders. any input would be helpful. i've search like a mother and can't really find much on 20s and a drop. thanks.

With the offsets of your wheels, you won't need to roll the fenders. 
As for drop, I was on Tein Basics, and they allowed me to set a perfect ride height- which IMO is when you can't get a finger in between the tire/fender on both front and rear. I would not suggest getting the Eibach Sportlines, or any other spring that drops your car over an inch without shocks to go with it. The ride will simply SUCK!
EDIT: You have D-specs. Whoops! Go ahead and get the Sportlines.

Although I'm not running staggered 20s...I'm running 20's with a pretty good drop in my opinion. I have about a 1 finger gap in the back...and 1.5-2 in the front I think. And this is running 245/35/20 tires. Keep in mind that this is only a drop using Z/Coupe springs which is a conservative drop (1/2" rear - 1" front)...you can see it here.

Most of the time I see that drop it looks too mild for me but your's looks very nice. Great work!

Thanks Tim! I didn't do much except swap in the springs
. It's weird, but even with the coupe 19s I previously had...it seemed like it dropped more than the 1/2", 1" drop everyone said I would get. The 20s also are slightly larger than OEM size...so it fills the wheel well better. I'm pretty happy w/ the stance.
