OEM Body Kit?
I am getting an OEM Body kit for my Eternal Blue Civic. How much lower will my car be to the ground after it is installed?

I dont know what the OEM kit is like, but if it is a pretty large aggressive kit, then I would say a good 2". My brother installed a Falcon body kit on his WRX and it was about 2.5" lower. Not sure about OEM though, you should just call them, they'll tell ya.

it doesnt lower it much. Its designed to ride right up under the OEM bumper. IT looks a lot lower than it really is. So maybe an inch at most. And i have the OEM Aero so im not just guessin. I acutally know its not much lower than the OEM bumper.

Maybe it will lower an inch, but probably not even that. I noticed it looks lower, but nothing crazy.

The thing about your kit setup is it looks like it is part of the car you know? Like I love the Black Widow front and rear spoiler but the side skirts look terrible. They look like they are just glued on and dont go with the car at all. So once again, very nice look reddragon.

Once again thank you for the compliments. It took quite a while for me to decide on a kit that kept the clean, sleek lines of the EM2 chasis and this was the one. So i would recommend for a clean look always go OEM. PLus it comes paint matched. Doesnt lower too far but it LOOKS a lot lower than it is so you dont have to worry about scraping.
