i would think that the reason ur 1 inch drop looks to low and ur rubbing. is because maybe ur shocks or blown. plus the front is supposed to be higher than the back... i think that because if the front was to low u would rub mid corner into a turn anyways cause the momentum or the sway of the front end. i would think apon logic or im an idiot either way i think ur shocks are blown.... when my wrx shocks blew it sat really low and bounced all over. like an old ladys tits.... haha

Edited for accuracy. Just playin'.

But seriously, the shocks won't have any impact on the ride height (unless they are jammed/stuck, thereby preventing the springs from compressing). The springs determine the ride height of the car. The shocks only dampen the movement of the car after it goes over a bump (which is why your WRX bounced all over the place when your shocks were blown).

Give more specs on your wheels...

17x7 is the incorrect width for the back, so I'd be willing to bet they're the wrong offset too.

Regardless, it sounds like you went to the wrong shop.
