Rep Power: 374 I have b&g's and Im riding 7 threads from the bottom of the coilover. I think that translates into about 3.25 inch drop all around.
In the front I am lowered 1.75" rear is 1.25"
Stock ride height is 26" from the base/bottom of the wheel to the edge of the fender.
I confirmed this with 2 Civics on even ground both on 15" wheels.

Rep Power: 316 I consider how low you really are by the wheel gap. When you get kits into it though, like xenon, which you and me have you might have to think about it differently though. Cuz the sideskirts almost drag the ground sometimes.

Rep Power: 511 well, if we are talking about wheel gap, i have none in the rear cause im tuckin a bit and in the front i have about a finger gap. im on neuspeed race springs which are a 2.5" drop, but i think thye have settled to more around a 3" drop.

Rep Power: 0 im trying to find true drop height..
i cant even fit a sandal under my car... its lower than **** but im saying hub to fender shows actual drop... like when u drop a car the point ur "dropping" is ur hub.... yes... ok and a point of reference is the top of fender
im tucking all 4 tires
front tucks like 3/4" of tire above the fender
rear tucks 1" of tire above the fender
3.5" overall drop from stock height front..(measured hub to fender)
3.25 drop rear (hub to fender)
19" 215/35/19 nitto neogen

Rep Power: 511 mine is defeniatly lower than 1.5" drop lol. neuspeed race springs are a 2.5" drop plus they sagged a bit. plus im tuckin in the rear, so i doubt 1.5" drop = tucking
if i remember correctly, i measured the stock wheel gap with 205-40-17s and it was around 3", so i think im more around a 3" drop.

Rep Power: 0 gap doesnt matter cause gap is relvant of tire size..
measure from the center of hub tofender would tell u exactly how far u rear control arms moved up.. which by definition is a "drop" someone needs to remeasure the oem height from hub to fender
