H22 civic swaps with lowered suspension - how low did you go and how's clearance/axles?
My coiloveres are beginning to settle and it's time to drop the car, but I'm really not sure how low I should go. Looking for oppinions and pics and am wondering for those that do ride on lowered suspenion with the H22 and its poor ground clearnace (header to ground) and weird axle angles what is working well for you.

I'm lowered, but by no means slammed. Around 2-3 fingers width between the tired and fender. I haven't had any trouble with my axles binding due to being lowered, and have only dragged the header once or twice. A friend's apartment complex has these evil dual tier speed bumps, caught one the wrong way and scrapped the header a little, fortunately no dent.
I wouldn't go any lower than I am, it's rides great where it's at and wouldn't do anything but make it handle worse and risk dragging parts on the road.
My $.02

Thanks so much for your input!
If you don't mind my asking, what size tires are you running (any pics of the car?). How far would you say yoru header is off the ground?
I just repalces a smashed/crushed header and i'd rather not do it again, but the car looks like a 4x4 with the coilovers wound all the way out, so it's time to drop her

I'm running 195/50/15.
It's just a little lower than it looks, car was on an uneven gravel lot.

bump, I am interested in seeing some more cars/pics.... I want to go lower also but I am not sure how low to go yet
Heres how my euro r swap sits rite now, I don't even know what springs are on it. Drives me nuts that the front sits slightly higher then the back
