aquito your suspension should settle about an inch, I'm sure they are similar to the skunk 2 drop springs and I've installed a couple sets on friends cars and they settled down to close to 2 inches total drop.

its not "useless" but in a high speed rollover it would bend in places where a bolted in one would not.

They also don't strengthen the chassis as much as weld in. Not worth buying in my opinion

Still to high right? U guys think the springs will settle and go a little lower? My goal was one finger gap between the tire and fender and right now it's two fingers

I'm a big fan of a drop spring vs. coil-over sleeves. They don't clunk around, and eBay coilovers have issues of their own. I had omnipower gen1 full coil-overs on my civic and they were great, but I never raised or lowered the car after the height was set. My only options when looking at suspension now are either full body or a nice springs and a good strut.

I have bilstien HD's on my integra now, they are custom valved and are the shorter body. I'm running neuspeed springs on them. The ride height is near perfect, and I can go lower if needed with the adjustable perches that are on the strut.

The fabricator is the least of my problem I don't mind paying for a good job to be done. naw Track wise or down the drag strip I don't. I just want it because it looks cool and I'm a ricer
