Pro kit springs handle nice. :thumbup:
its a conservative drop but its noticable. It was the perfect drop for me.
stock
pro kit
my camera sucks...
it basically cut the huge fender gap i had a little more then half.
from 4 finger gap front to 2 finger gap. rear is down to 1 finger gap.
rear camber will have to be adjusted, front is fine. no rub. no problems so far.
I've heard good things about H&R sport springs but i believe you will need to adjust the front as well as the rear camber.

the drop that looks "right" is between 1.8 and 2.25
no matter what your camber will suffer. people saying 1.5 will not cause problems either heard it from someone else and relayed it to you, or had on 14s with huge sidewalls so it couldn't be noticed.
also get name brand and not the cheapest crap you can find. in this hobby $50 is not alot of money but on things like springs it'll make the difference.

If alignment and camber were not issues(such as being too expensive to buy) then i'd go with some neuspeed race or eibach sportlines. However, i do recommend the pro-kit because its designed to go with stock suspension setup, preserving the life of the shocks a bit longer.

I'm glad that somebody posted this thread! (Thanks, 97CivicSI! )
I just got my new wheels a few days ago and I was wondering what was the general consensus on how low to go. Even still, I plan to assess the fender vs. tire gap in March when I mount my wheels + tires to see.
I guess I'll anticipate buying a Pro-Kit for about $200. And, about $500 for some Koni yellows...

first of all sportlines are 1.8 and prolly settle to almost 2"... and yes it is noticeable.
