I just installed some Sportlines on my '97 Civic, and I'm pretty happy with them. At this point, they're on stock struts, but the ride is still really good. I rub only on really hard turns with a passenger, and it isn't that bad. I'm running 17s with 205/40/17 tires, and the springs pretty much eliminated the fender gap (there's maybe 1/2 inch or so). I'd actually like to go a bit lower, but it looks pretty good. I'll get pics when I get a chance...
