Default What is the stock ride height of a civic?

More specifically the wheel gap.

I have my fenders flush with my tires, and am sick of being profiled as a racer boy. My honda emblems are back on as is my front lisence plate, now to lift the car back to 4x4 status.

I want to know what the stock wheel gap is (approximately) on 99-00si's or 96-00civics if anyone knows. Thanks much

Also, how many foot pounds do i use when i torque down my lugnuts.

I'm not 100%, but most springs drop the car ~2 inches, so go up 2 inches from where you're at now.

For lugnuts, I think it's around 80 ft/lbs.

My stock 98 EX has the fenders about 2.5" and 2.75" above the tire front and rear respectively!

3" on mine... basically a fist will fit just fine between tire and fender
