1.5 inches won't be a problem. i'm dropped about 2 inches, maybe more with no problem.

you'll encounter a problem if your SLAM your car and drive it daily. therefore, you could burn out the ATTS unit.

I was thinking about lowering mine too and was wondering the same thing. I should be good then.

I'm riding on Tein SS at approximately 2-2.25 inches dropped. of course it handles better than stock, any car dropped will. also, i have spoon F/R strut bars so it handles even better.

the ride is close to stock, nothing is more comfy than stock.

No, my friend you couldn't be farther from the truth. I have ridden in one too many cars on coil-overs dropped to the ground that handle like crap. Getting your car too low without proper shock dampening, or alignment with just make your car worse. Especially understeer, it's only multiplied in Hondas when they sit too low.

well i wasn't talking about SLAMMING the car and driving around. and of course with out proper dampening (i.e. after market springs w/ stock shocks) will give you worst handling. i'm talking about a good shock/spring combo with a decent drop not cheap coil-overs with stock shocks. like they say, you get what you pay for.

sorry if anyone misunderstood me, modding your suspension should be done by a professional. do good research on it and don't just throw on any coil-overs/springs. we're talking about safety reasons here.
