Rep Power: 0 2.25-2.5 drop with a fiberglass bumper = major scraping and cracking problems. what size are your tires? if i had a front bumper i'd lowe 1.75 to be safe, especially with fiberglass.

Rep Power: 0 Thats slammed. If you have an aftermarket bumper i'd say your bumper would just about be touching the ground. If you want something super low, i'd say get coilovers that way you can get it as low as you want, but also adjust it out for clearance. I wouldn't go any lower than 1.75.

Rep Power: 417 for some even 1.3" is too low. n for others even a 2.5" drop isnt low enough. it all depends on preference and how much your willing to sacrifice for a slammed look. to me 2.25" is perfect... but then again this also varies with a kit and tire size.
the rsx springs will fit our cars but keep in mind the weight differences... so just cause its a 2" drop on an rsx doesnt mean its a 2" drop on our cars. also its not always 2", some companies are off.
usually lower the drop, the worse the ride is. but then it also depends on the company and what not...
you might also want to look into a set of true coilovers or the h&r cup kit. with a 2" drop, the rides going to be badd and your shocks will blow after awhile. true coilovers and the cup kit comes with shocks that are designed to handle the extra stress
