the difference in drops could be due to the trim level of your car. there's a pretty big difference in weight between a fully loaded EX and a base model DX.

i see a lot of stock civics with more than a fist of wheel gap but if i look at the ex models, they're usually around 4 fingergaps stock.

I need Everyones ADVICE!!

Alright Guys, Im giving my Car a whole new makeover this Next month, And I need your Advice. First of all, Let me Say, Currently my Car is dropped on - Eibach Sportlines, with stock struts. (its been horrible with the stocks ) - and of course the Camber kit.
The car is much lower from the back, And I got a hold of a New set of Eibach Prokit Springs. With New Struts, and the New Prokits, will the car be much higher?
I also Plan on Adding 17 inch rims to the car, and I already have the rs front lip, aero side skirts, and kaminari rear lip that I will be adding. -
I also Thought about keeping Sportlines in the front, and just replacing the rear springs to the prokits, (since its so low on the back) would that be a bad Idea? - And would you guys recommend KYB struts? Or which ones would go great? - Do you think ill have a hard time with the side skirts? -

OR would you recommend I go prokits all Around. And How long would it take for them to settle in? I also have a Sub with 2X12 , amp, and Spare tire in the trunk.


Thanks for those of you sticking with me on this one, I will be updating you on my car, I appreciate all the feedback. check out the Pics!

IMO anything less than a 2" drop is worthless. My goldlines settled at 2.25. Go for coilovers (full) if you go the $s.

Re: Official Suspension Drop Pictures Post

You can fit sedan springs so you don't sag if you have a coupe. RSX/SI rear springs may even be a good alternative.
