I'm not trying to be rude. But you just can't drive yet with a kit. I'm down 1.8 inches. And have a full body kit and ride the bumpiest and roads with hills all the time. In and out of all kinds of lots. It takes a lot of time to master the art of conquering the road. You just gotta keep trying.

1) Lowered 1.5 inches 1996 Accord EX
2)Eibach Sportline
3)Stock Bumper

I still scrape my front bumper once and a while when I'm not careful. I sometimes scrap my header on steep parking lots and driveways. It sucks!

1) 2"
2) V-SPEC II Coilovers (soon to be H&R Sports)
3) Stock body

I scrape too much. I've gone through a few downpipes. Maybe when I get a real header and spend some money making it, I'll raise it up.

I have sprint 3.25 drop on kyb's on my 94 accord coupe. The ride is real stiff but I scrape the **** out of my header and front. I also can't pull all the way into a space b/c my front end will not clear the little parking curb.

Yes and no, when you lower your car you alter suspension geometry meaning that some suspension parts will see a lot more load than what they are build for. BUT remember that automakers usually oversize parts for increase durability (i guess) so lowering is not that bad ('m talking to 2 inches of drop) but i guess more than 2 inches is just messing with suspension. just my $.02
