I don't think anybody mentioned this. If your going to lower your car, the first thing you will need is a camber kit(at least on the front end), unless you want to buy new tires every 5k miles. When i bought my crx, it had lowering springs on it, without a camber kit. The front tires wore out on the inside edge in no time. I simply ordered some new stock springs, whick raised it back up and put the tires back at the correct camber, instead of getting a camber kit. I did'nt like the lowered back jarring ride. It did handle better, but i'm not into autocrossing or racing.
