They definitely improve the look a bit as well as the ride. Probably about a 1" drop for me. The best improvement in ride can be felt on the highway. Although it's only been a few weeks and the springs probably haven't fully settled, I regret getting the prokit. Shoulda gotten the sportlines. The drop just doesn't look "dropped" to me.

are you kidding??? I have the pro kit and I barely have 2 finger gap all around. any more than that and my tires might rub the fender. Also with my body kit I hardly have any ground clearance, and sometimes it scrapes if I'm not careful. I wouldnt want it dropped any more than that, I think the prokit looks just right!

eh, my 'definition' of drop isnt lets kill the gap by a 1 finger gap, my definition is lay the frame on the floor. even a 1 finger gap is too much for me. but honestly if you didnt have the kit(cause it makes the car look lower), any stranger that wasnt familiar with civics wouldnt even know it was dropped. people could hardly tell my car is even dropped. its your car so you know that its dropped, but other people dont. i like the look where you glance at the car and you wont even have to question it whether its dropped or not. the kit and the size of tires make a big difference too tho.

You can check out the pics in my "member's ride" section.

It's the pro kit

The last couple of pics with the new wheels is about the best ones so far. I will be taking new pics this weekend.

Anybody have pics of the Sportlines? I might be going that way myself.

I've decided to go with the Sportllines, but I wanna wait for shocks. I don't wanna install springs and have to do it all over again for the shocks. Whats the deal?? I called Eibach direct yesterday and asked about the dampers. I asked if they are in the R&D stages or have an ETA when available. The dude said they have no plans at this time.

SUX! big time!
