An inch lower than this in the back, and an inch and a half lower in the front if you're on stock 15'' rims. I have the neuspeed 2''/1.75'' drop and Im on 17s.

and its not completely dependent on what size rim u have it is a combination of rim and tire side wall height.

if he keeps the size of the tire/rim with the circumference in mind the stock size the drop wont change a bit. just sidewall size will go down and rim size will go up. thats the only way it should be done so the speedo isnt off.

just get coilovers and set it to your own liking! then you can raise and lower anytime, and im almost 100% positive anyone on here will agree that spend a lil extra for some decent coilovers and youll be a ton happier! last longer, ride hell of alot better too! just my 2 cents

I told him it would be lower for him in the front. Mine sits higher because 17's + big drop = wheel rub

That hatch looks good. But the rims are bah.

Used springs are much cheaper than coilovers, and most Honda modders are just out on a budget anyway. So telling him to get coilovers isn't the best advice.

Damn you're a funny one. The exterior of my car looks like it does because after I got rid of the body kit I invested in my engine. It actually doesn't look the same right now, those are old pics. So my two-tone broken-bumper giant-rimmed civic is rollin around with an 98+ Spec ITR engine, not a POS B16 that has less torque than my single cam did(106ft/lbs ). My car will look nice when I'm done with the engine, suspension, and getting my seats/harnesses back up to track spec.
