Much better. But seeing as I am NEVER satisfied..........
Tint your taillights and put some damn tire shine on your tires.
Nice car!

It's definitely not a 2" drop. And i would hesitate to think it's even a 1.5" drop.
I have a 1" drop front and back on my car and the front looks pretty much the same as what you have.

Yes I do. That's what you do in an internet FORUM.

Not a 2" drop. Guarantee you that. And if you can prove otherwise....show me a link that can back up your claim. Measuring fender gap isn't proof.

It's not about winning or losing. It's about presenting accurate information. What if some poor kid who couldn't view pictures on his computer for some reason were to go out and buy these springs thinking he's gonna get a 2" drop....just to find out that it's not the drop he wanted. Now he wasted a couple hundred bucks on some false information.
Wouldn't you feel like an ***??

Aren't you worried about your shocks/struts?
And just to back up Rico, I beleive you measure from the bumper to the ground on a flat surface.

Re: just dropped the FA on TEIN s-tech's (SIVIC 3)
do you have a camber kit? did you check the alignment? if so was it out? just wondering cuz I have a set of comp tech springs but no camber kit. I was going to wait to get the kit before I installed them. Looks good by the way!
