Default Tuckin The tires

Well what I am intrested is to know, I have springs that are a drop of 2.0 front and 1.8 back and its for 96 civic ex. I just want to know when I install them will the fenders go over the tires and the rims that I am getting are 16 inch. Do I need to go with lower springs to have that happen? I do not know if they will settle little bit more like .1 or .2. Pictures would help if anyone has a similar drop on their car 96-00 coupes.

get rid of those and get some coilovers, that way you can choose your own ride height and really be happy with your stance..

I know but its too late for the coilover because I bought the illuminas for the springs and the springs I have I thought they would be just about right low. I still want to go lower but before I sell them I want to check out how some coupes look with the exact or close to same drop as those srpings. If anyone has actually H&R Limited edition Springs on their please show your picture.

I have Neuspeed Race springs on my hatch. Very nice drop and rides better than my Omni full coilovers

Don't know how low it is but I am running stock struts. Like I said it rides better than my Omni's. I don't like how coilovers ride anyway, they are way to bouncy.
