If you want to drop it then buy your own civic, otherwise you live under daddy's roof so you will abide by daddy's rules. Don't waste your time trying to rebut that cause I won't hear it.

You make no sense. Taking out the wheel gap is dropping it.
You say you are not allowed to drop it but you are allowed to take out the wheel gap. You are doing a good job of fooling your daddy

If you slam it the car will ride like ****. Tell him you want the HFP suspension. It's genuine honda parts, you get shocks that are made for the springs. So you get 4 springs and 4 new shocks and you can get them for like 550 or 600 bucks. And your dad will love that they are honda parts. I have it and like them and it dropped them about an inch.

I agree with ajp go with HFP (honda factory performance) suspension.. Its a great setup, you also cant messup the geometry of the susp. like you would by "dropping it" with another setup. Daddy is also most likely to approve this setup for his Si than most cheapo setups u would prolly throw on his car.

Ditch some wheel gap huh? Go get some 22" wheels then.

Seriously though, I would recommend the suspension if your dad is a bit of a hard ***. Check CHH, they're still offering it at 450/kit. Just curious, where are you getting this funding from?

No....because you're failing to realize that daddy told her that she could drop the car enough to get rid of the wheel gap.....but not completely slam it like an EK hatch....or all the other morons that tuck their cars straight down to the wheel edge.

Here let me help you........

Is it sinking in yet?

Seriously.....Do you know of any other way to get rid of wheel/fender gap other than putting 22s or 24s on the car?

As for the OP.......HFP won't completely get rid of the fender gap. Get some Eibach Sportlines or some Tein S-techs and you'll be happier.
