Default Lowering 91 Crx si w/b16 (did search)

I want to lower my 91 CRX Si W/b16. I want a aggresive look but not slammed I have 17" rims with 205/40/17 tires I was thinking about going 1.75 all the way around but I am not sure if that will feel the wheel gap? What do you guy recommend or have on your cars? I just want the wheel gap closed not slammed. Pics w/ how much your car has been lowered would be great too. Thanks guys

Yeah ground controls, sorry. Thats what I have on my crx w/ b18c. I wanted the flexibility of being able to choose how low I was.

Same here, GC all the way. Just make sure and get some good adj. shocks. I would even recommend you get the 89 Accord front shocks to give you more shock travel.

yea I know 17's are big I have been thinking about getting a set of GSR or Si rims. Do you guys think there would still be alot of wheel gap if I lower it 1.75?
thanks
Matt

There something about driving fast with 17's that scares me.....dont go bigger than a 16....15 is ideal.
