2 - 3 thats not that low mine was at like 4 inches but when you lower a car or like a crx arent suppose lower the back more than the front or something like like 2inches in the front and 3 in the back

depends how you want it to sit. most springs do set it higher in the back tho. just a little. i think it looks good real low but it gets old real fast when the are swerving in the road dodgind crap in the road or ripping your nice type r lip off. lol. youll see. lift it up to a 3 inch drop

Just taking the gap away from tires looks hundred times better.

I say that's too much. I second what oodie said and just get a kit that gets rid of the huge wheel gap. Should be around 1.5" drop.

so a good drop is like having the fender on top of tire and tire tucking is to much

I liked mine it was kind of low, i had to raise it up since I scrapped every where and I put i nice dent in my downpipe...I'm not sure on how low in inches it is or was but i had both front and rear wheels tucked...the frim tire were acctually getting slices in them when I turn now I have about a finger gap or less seems to be good and I don't scrap except for a few places...this isn't my DD so I don't mind it the ride is really stiff too i don't bottom out over bumps oh yea Koni Yellows and Ground Controls

i prefer about a 1 inch gap in the front and about 2-3" gap in the back, about the same as the red civic si you posted.

&lt;/center&gt;

this is with th single cam
tein ss springs dropped me 1 1/2" in the front and 1 1/4" in the back but for some reason int the beginning the back sagged lower than the front but some how it evened out. now that i have a b-series in it, it sits perfect

The perfect drop in my opinion for a Ef is Neuspeed race springs in the front and H&R race springs in the back because the neuspeeds in the rear is hellla high and the h&r fronts are kind high compared to the rear but with the neuspeed front and h&r rear. I did not scrape that much but i would never use any coilovers again on a EF because it was too bouncy.

tucking you get scrapes even with rolled fenders and up to the fender is just perfect, just based on experienced

that's exactly like how i have mine now, daily driven. i mostly scrape my mudflaps but get close to bottoming out a few times. rolling omni power sleeve over kit, rides bouncy as ****, but i want to go lower. thinking of taking the sleeves off the front to tuck the front more, not sure if its safe or not?
