Just got rims installed!!!!

I finally got my rims put on 17" Konig UnKnown wrap in 205/50/17. My question how low should I drop my car??? And what other future mods should I do. Your input would be great.

Re: Just got rims installed!!!!

well i have 17's with a 215/45/17 yokohama tire and i am dropped on neuspeed sport springs. They are 1.75 front and 1.5 rear. I have 1 finger gap all the way around. It is perfect. Just my recommendation.

Re: Just got rims installed!!!!

i would recommend lowering as much as you're comfortable and lose the mud flaps. ride looks clean otherwise.

Re: Just got rims installed!!!!

go as low as you can tolerate. for some reason civics look significantly better when they are barely above the ground (maybe it just gives drivers an excuse to be slow ).

Re: Just got rims installed!!!!

i think 1.5-2ish drop is good. it depends on whether or not you plan on getting a lip kit or not
