Default Lowering question...who' done this?

I'm gonna lower my 99 Civic EX to make the fender flush with the tires...who has done this and what are the exact types of springs that fit what i'm looking to do?

a friend of mine is offering to sell me Eibach Sportlines (which i believe are a 1.8" drop) and i think it's prolly too much of a drop...but i'm really not sure.

I found Eibach Springs Pro Kit that drops 1.3"...which prolly sounds like what i'm lookin for.

let me know what you think, thanks

Anything lower than 2" will be about right. But you should get ready for a rough ride. You will also need the correct wheel size, offset and tire size to make it work.
