Re: 98 Civic Lowering

Picture your Civic with the frame literally touching the ground, that's a 4" drop. If you go into that range you need to start cutting parts of your strut towers out to allow the suspension to actually move. Serious.

2.5" is as low as you can go without totally sacrificing drive ability.

I'd recommend you purchase a set of Progress CS-II coilovers and adjust the height to your liking.
