I have a 96 dx hatch, I have 17" konig zeige rims, and the car is hiked up in the air. I want to lower the car, with just some springs, but nothing to substantial i was thinking like an 1" drop or something to lower the fender gap. However I was wondering, if anyone knew of any springs that would work and are reliable, and if so if there would be any scraping? oh yeah, im not looking for that slammed look just something to lower the ugly hike. thanks.

Check out H&R, Neuspeed, Eibach. All have good reputations for quality, and they all offer springs in similar break downs (OEsport, sport, race). Look up their websites, they will have an estimated drop in inches for each spring offered.

Keep in mind, you may need to buy better shocks to keep up with the stiffer springs.

I had been researching, and I was thinking about putting on H@R OE springs, which says its a .75 drop front and rear. would I need new struts and shox for not really of a huge drop? Also do you have any idea if this drop would make rubbing from the 17 inch rims?

When putting on after-market springs, it's always a good idea to put on new dampers becasue the stock ones will wear out faster than normal. It may not be necessary to replace the dampers right away, but it won't be too long before you will have to replace them with after-market dampers anyway.

I would only have the springs on for summer, so i dont think i would eed to worry about dampers. I just need to know how low you can drop this hatch, without the tires rubbing on 17's.
