Will there be a dramatic improvement, a moderate one, or barely none at all? I read what OSGP had to say, but any one else have these that wants to share their opinion?

I think any drop of 1.75" or more will affect the alignment and requires camber kit to correct that. That's additional $$$. No alignment problem with Pro-Kit so far...

So I'm wondering...what does everyone think is an ideal drop for a daily driver? I'm looking for a combination of better handling and improved look to the car. I want a noticeable difference without really limiting myself to where I can take the car. Before my Honda, I had a Nissan pickup that was ~3" off the ground...I loved it, but sometimes it was inconvenient as a daily driver, and I'm not sure I'm ready for that again (yet)...

one more question to anyone that has them or have seen before and after putting on Pro kits on a 96-00 civic.
Did the drop cut the fender gap by at least half?
I don't mind a lil fender gap since I'm only rolling on 15's. Just need the drop to be enough to notice the car 'settled' on the wheels, not 'resting' on them (zero fender gap).

are you sure thats ^ a prokit? are the struts adjustable?
I can asure you, you want either neuspeed sports or eibach sportline.
Handling will be like day and night. just don't get crazy and think your a racecar driver.
After a while no matter what you'll want new shocks. spend enough money and get adjustables and drop it more

nice...i really like your setup. I wish i would've gotten the pro kit instead of sportline. I'm getting the AGX's though...hope it rides better after those.
