I'd definately say closer to 1.7/1.9ish because my car is in between my brother's 2.5 inch drop and my friend's 1.5. We've all got Civic hatches and I've got Tein S-techs on KYB AGX's.

This is a shitty pic to display what you're asking for, but regardless...Mine is the red hatch, B19civichb is the indigo one. He's lowered 1.5 all around and mine's on Tein S-Techs. This is right after the install, before they settled much, but I can tell you that, appearance wise, you'll be pleased.

Yeah, it's stock...on Chevrolet trucks. It's Chevrolet Indigo Blue Pearl and no, it's not stock on any Honda you've ever seen. Neither is the engine that's in it

They ride rather comfortably for a performance spring and the stiffness of the ride depends largely on the shocks you buy to go along with them. I currently run KYB AGX adjustables on all four corners with the fronts at 1 (softest) and the rears at 4 (stiffest), allowing me to achieve better ballance in turns, but stiffining up the rear considerably. Going over speed bumps is like nothing to the front, but slightly jarring when the rear tires go over.
Hope that helps. I've had experience with many, many aftermarket shocks (Koni, Toxic, KYB, Tein, etc.) and I must say that, short of Tein full coilovers, the KYB AGX's are better than any others I've ridden or driven on. The Koni Yellows suck, in my opinion, and their adjustability mechanism is the most poorly designed I've yet encountered. My personal opinion is to stay away from them.

Goddamn people: he's been on this board for two and a half years...This is his car with Type-R wheels
His car with the valve cover off so we could lash his valves and set his timing:
That's all I have on We-Todd right now, so deal.

No i am not... i plan on keeping it that way because i plan to road race soon here.....will help the handling a bit....but eventually i will install a kit so i can have further adjustability....thanks for the compliments...
