What's the maximum drop on a 5th gen when running a 19" wheel on 235s? I was thinking of going with the Tein-H...I want to get the lowest drop possible without comprimising the wheels' ability to turn.

You can slam it to the ground and not have any rubbing issues. It all depends on if you get the proper offset and wheel width, but shame on you if you get anything narrower than 8".

BTW, your sig is messup up!

Well, the wheels are 19x8 with a 43mm offset. Is that ok?

Thanks!

I would strongly recommend an offset between 35-40mm, if the wheel you want is offered in that range.
When I got my first set of wheels, the stupid shop gave me some weird offset and my steering was funky and the tires would rub on various parts, even though they looked fine on the car and didn't stick out or in too much. Then I went to a local maxima expert and he came up with a perfect combination of wheel offset and tire type (apparently different brands of tires are different shapes on the sidewall, shoulders, and tread face). With my new setup it rides better, and the steering is much more precise. Haven't heard a single rubbing noise even when turning and hitting a large bump or dip.

Well, the wheels I want are that size...am I screwed?

No, you're okay.... just add 5mm or 10mm spacers in the back and you'll be fine.
