Are you looking for a slammed ride? If so, read the FAQ (suspension section).

There might be a reason why the new ones don't go as low.

Progress makes decent stuff for the EP3/RSX chassis, and I suggest that if you do go that route you lower the car their recommended amount. They've doone the testing

All of the 'classroom' RSX's at Mid-Ohio ran Progress suspension.

I'm running a progress coilover set up on my 06 rsx and if your looking for the slammed out look, these probally arent going to be the coilovers for you.

I still have a few turns left on my fronts, but my rears are all the way down. From top of fender well to the ground, fonts 24 3/4 inches.. my rears are 25 1/2. each with about a finger width gap..

Heres some pics of my car with the stock rims on/ and my rota's on.

This really doesn't help as your wheel/tire size is going to be different than others. You should say how much of a drop it gave you.

Actually, the best way is to measure 'drop' is from the jack points to ground before and after lowering.

There is no need to go lower! Read the FAQ.
