slammed in my opinion is a show thing, why do u want to be bouncing all around and hitting ur head on the ceiling driving everyday, dragging and scraping ur exhaust, not opinion of a good thing, and why would u want to make ur kit all fudged up and have it falling off all the time bc u can go over a speed bump or some RR tracks, 1.4 is just fine for me

exterior dimensions are pretty much the same - our cars only look taller. I've got around a 1.2" drop, and once I get 17's it's about as far as it can go without rubbing on the horrible roads we have here in houston. I bet anything my stock shocks are gonna blow within a year.

if u drop like 3 inches, then make sure u get camber kit or the tires will look like //----\\
and it is bad for the tires
and also get some shocks if u drop that much...the stock shocks are bad already and i dont think it can handle the car drop even more

Sorry, but for me a 1.5" drop would be perfect. Slamming a daily driver=

slammed is for show. sometimes tucked wheels look like $hit usually when the nose of the car is long.
7th gen looks good with tucked wheels.

i'm a daily driver so 1" is good for me. plus i have skirts and i want to keep them.

Dropped = Show
Stock Height = Everyday driving over sh!tty streets with potholes and speedbumps and uneven ground in general.

I myself do alot of driving with my Civic and would never consider dropping it. But that's just my situation.

If sparks dont fly, your TOO high. The skys not the limit, the ground is. I have a 2 1/8" drop in front and 2" drop in rear. I would lower the rear more, but I carry people around all the time so the car would be even lower. I have plans on a full custom air bag suspesion. I wanna lay the kit on the ground. If I cant, I am gonna cut something so I can. I want it HAMMERED. And yes, it is a daily driver. My car probably has more miles on it than yours. I got about 42,000 on mine. Thats a dropped daily driver for ya. Stop being scared and DROP IT!!!!
