Crap!
I just bought these springs from someone on this site and I was wondering if a 2.25 drop is too much for our cars? (I own a 2001 Civic Ex)
The springs are Tanabe Sustec DF210. (I think 2.25 is a little too much am I right?) [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

2.25 is the perfect drop for me. it takes out all of the tire gap and the tires tuck in the fenders about 1/4 of an inch. i have stock tires btw.

It depends on what size tire and rim you have. I have 18's and im dropped 2"m no gap at alll! barely tucked.


2 1/4 is a big drop!

It is all a matter of the following in my opinion:

1. RIDE QUALITY
2. AREAS THAT THE CAR WILL BE DRIVIN IN
3. LOOK OF THE DROP YOU WISH TO ACHIEVE (WHEEL TO FENDER GAP)
4. PREFERENCE

a 2.25" drop is kinda hardcore in my opinion, atleast on factory struts, if you got aftermarket struts and camber kit then it should be fine. you should be able to hit turns at crazy speeds then!
