on 14" 195/60's

on 16" 205/45's

I'm using tokiko blues up front from a 86-89 Accord so that I can be low yet not bottom out the shocks as easy.

I had the H&R Race springs on my old red civic (n longer have)
they lower 2.25 f and 2.0 rear.
You can actually lower it more by .5" by trimming the jounce bumper by 1"
or use H&R Jounce bumper . This will provide 2.75" front and 2.5" rear lower.

I live in Florida too, and I assure you.. There are turns. We don't spend all our time driving in straight lines.

Make sure you don't lower your car for looks and then find out that the ride is terrible and your handling is no good and you were better off with stock suspension.

I have them in my hatch. .they lower plenty and the ride is alright but, I wouldn't use them if you have something other than a D series engine.. they are way too soft now that i have a B series in there.
