Too low and the rear lip needs the rest of the kit.

Good otherwise.

Dude that is waaaaayyyy to low. Looks like the person who removed his springs and rode on the bumpstops till the unibody broke at the shock towers. That's not safe at all and the car would look 10 times better with a 2 inch drop.

HOLY **** how do you drive that car? I mean, if you are just parking the car, then I guess ride height isnt an issue, but god damn!! I am sorry, but its just way to low. If the tires were SLIGHTLY tucked under the fenders it would look good, but you got wheels inside the fenders... Aside from the ride height, the car looks all right, but that ride height is killing me...

You sut 4 coils off sprint extremes??? Ok what part of KY are you from? You don't cut coils period. And second you don't drop a civic 6 inches and say it's practical and smooth.

I'd have to agree there. There's nothing in PHYSICS that would permit a nice ride with that set up aside from a smooth-as-glass road.

see thats the funny thing, i only went through one set of sumitomo z-rated tires in the 1 1/2 i owned it. camber was never an issue.. and the only reason it went through even one set was the greddy 5lb turbo kit that powered me in to the low 14's

Somehow, I doubt that.

are you going to say that this is too low to?
Yeah. The drop, and the shape of the wheelwells and such make that thing look like it's sporting 11's or something.

UGLY.

come on you know it looks good
No. It doesn't.

What looks good is when the wheels just fill the wheelwells. It makes the car looks muscular and agile.

When the wheels tuck like that, it makes the car look gimpy, like it's got club feet or something.

Tires and rims should never ever be hidden under the fender lip. It looks stupid.

Besides, you have to run skinny wheels to keep from rubbing.

Wide wheels with moderate lowering > Skinny wheels with maximum lowering.
