Not very low without other modifications. It will basically goes as low as the integra on that site. I had the same easy street one on my da.

You would much better off with hydraulics. They willl go alot lower without major mods. They will also ride alot better than air as long as you use accumulators with them.

sectioning sindles and trailing arms, custom a-arms and rear lca. then cutting wheel wells and raised towers. All that to be able to drive low on air.

Pro Hopper or Black Magic Hydraulics sell directly. From what I have read those two seem to have better service. I still have not decided which one to use.

You can find alot of hydro info at layitlow.com. Search there for tre5ive, he and his friends from Art of Noize install alot of systems on imports.

You could get these dropped spindles and trailing arms

They might help you lay it out. I'd love to see an integra or civic laying rocker, good luck

Technically you can't body drop it, there is no frame to drop the body over. Just hide some upside down trailer ***** under the side skirts and spark away

I am not sure how the DC is but on the DA you wont lay rocker with cutting out the whole floorboard. To lay just the pinch, the floor has to be cut out in spots.
