Question about Tein SS coilovers

I currently have Tein S.Tech springs and I like the ride but I wished it would drop the car little more. I'm looking at the Tein SS coilovers because even if I keep the S.Techs I have to get $400 worth of struts soon anyways.. might as well drop a little more and redo the whole thing.

Anyways, here's the question. How much do they drop your car? On Tein's site they list it like this:

FRONT
Aprox Lowering:
-1.97

Height Adjust Range:
-1.85 to -2.56

Rear
Aprox Lowering:
-1.46

Height Adjust Range:
-1.3 to -2.44

So does it just drop the front -1.97 or does it drop it max -2.56?!
And does it just drop the rear -1.46 or does it drop to max -2.44?

The springs I have now drop it -1.46 in the front and -.63 in the rear. If the SS drop it max to over 2" front and rear... they're mine

Emailed them. The Approx lowering is the recommended drop and the height adjustment is the total value.

Figured someone on here would be able to answer it though
