H&R w/ 17s
Ive heard quite a bit that this set up looks horrible but Id really like to drop my awd with H&Rs that is currently sitting on a newer IS stock 17s (I have an 07). I dont want to break the bank on new wheels and tires yet since the tires that came with it are pretty much brand new. I really want to kill the wheel well gap asap.

Not exactly H&R but can somewhat give you an idea. Here is my winter setup dropped on tanabe with 15mm spacers front and 25mm spacers rear.

lol it's only a 1.4f 1.3r drop...equivalent springs for rwd 2is are all around 1inch drop cuz they are lower to begin with
i dun want a low car, i just want lowER compared to stock cuz wheel gap is ridiculous

Maybe you aren't lowered...
here is an AWD on tanabe springs (1.4/1.0) and he looks much lower than you...
