Default too low of a setup? dont want to scrape

i have a 93 si hatch that currently has the stock motor. it also has stock shocks but with neuspeed race springs(2.5" drop) and i have koni reds and hyperflex kit along with camber kit to put in but will this susp. setup be too low for my b16? i really dont want to scrape. or can i just adjust the dampner of the shocks stiff enough to compensate. let me know if you know. thanks

if your drop is 2.5 inches now, i'd say it would be about 3 inches after a b16 is in there

how do you figure?
the b16 dosent weigh that much more than the d15/16.

when ur that low ur loosing alot of the function of ur suspension..ur just losing the travel of ur car, ur going to kill ur shocks sooner and ur going to be scraping road kill on to ur hood...id never go below 2" just to be safe..that scraping sound is like fingernails across the chalk board *do they still have chalk boards?*
