Default 6" drop.....is it even possible!?

This guy has been swearing up and down that his car has a 6" drop. Do Civic's even have 6" of ground clearance to begin with? Hell, a Ford Explorer only has 8" of ground clearance, how could a Civic have 6? Help me set this guy straight.

Why do you want to go lower if it's not for show?

6 inches in not possible
you would have to RAISE the suspension to get it that low
and your frame would drag anyway
