Im planning on getting the buddy club or kaminari kit for my car and was wondering what kind of drop would give it a nice, clean look. Thanks

1.5-1.75, that's what most people go with, or get adjustables and you can decide for yourself

consider if your a daily driver too with your drop with the kits you were talking about and if your a daily driver maybe some eibach sportlines(1-1.5") or neuspeed sports if your not a daily driver and u don't drive on roads that bad id say get some goldlines(1.75")

tire size: 215-40-18...and yes, i drive my civic practically everywhere everyday. What do you guys think about the h&r springs?...Would they make the car look kind of stock still? I just want it low enough that when i put on the kit, it doesnt scratch when going over bumps...and would i have to buy shocks when i drop my car?...sorry noob here...thanks again

man those are some pretty big tires.. i say go with neuspeed sports a 1.75" drop. it would be perfect with a kit. i have the same tires. 1 finger gap all around. still looks stock height tho. its begging for a kit to be put on it. look below to see pictures. i even have close ups of the fender gap if you want. H&Rs only drop 1.3". i'm sure you'll be happy with neuspeed sports and a kit. as for shocks, after 6 months of beating up my ride, hitting potholes and dips a little too hard, i think my shocks are slowly going on me. plan to get it within a year or so.
