ok, im going to be buying some brembo rotors soon and at the same time, iam going to order some springs... Which should I get? I heard that If I lower my car more than an inch my tires will rub? So... Which springs would be better?

I was rubbing with 205/40/17 - Suspension Techniques 1.75" drop and KYB struts. I went with Ground Control coil-overs and the rub has stopped and I still have a tight stance.

i wasn't trying to be a smart a$$ i was stating that you had a 98 civic, so he wasn't misinformed about his decision.

I have Falken 215/45/17's and a ProKit on my 02 sedan. With the ingals camber kit on the rear adjusted straight up...I rub. Had to give them a slight lean in for the fix. 11K miles later, though, my new Falken's are scalloped on the rear. The Fix? Rotated them to the front (which wore fine, no camber adjustment or alignment ever given) and used the ole baseball bat to roll the fender lip trick. Adjusted out the ingals a bit more...no rub...and should wear nicely.

prokit if you have skirts, h&r if you don't. the ground clearance will be about the same.
you should not rub with either drop, since these springs still leave fender gaps.
