Ground Control sells a Show Kit that can drop our cars up to 4.5 inches. I called them about it and they said they're decent for daily driving.

As a Skunk2 user-they work for me. You can selectspring rates from them on special order. They too use the Eibach ERS springs in various lengths (6"-8"). Our CRX is set up for SCCA and the minimum ride height is 5". Trust me when I say it is not a lot of fun getting the car on the service rack at the dealership-they have to jack the back end up to clear the arms. As to ride quality-that is up to you and will be determined by the spring rate and shocks you buy. I have nothing bad to say about Ground Control-they rally do build a great product and can easily customize for your needs.
A point here--how low you drop the car will have an effect on several things. A CRX is pretty low to begin with. Another will be ride quality and shock life if you do not properly select the shocks for your setup.
