Rubbing depends more on the offset of the wheel rather than the drop. What wheels do you have?
The Megan drop is 2", BTW.

As long as you don't have rear spacers you should not have rubbing issues.
BTW, springs have little effect on ride quality. It the struts and shocks that control that.

Even with rear spacers, a 40 offset isn't going to rub.

As others said, take a close look at offset. I made the mistake of misjudging offset when lowering a car and it rubbed like crazy.
