Default Pic Request: Pics of drop

Does anyone have pics of a 6th Generation Civic with Nuespeed race springs(2.25F 2.0R) or H&R Race Springs (2.5F 2.25R) It does not have to be a Civic but I would prefer it. Post as many pics as you can.

Does these drops look the same? They are both suppose to be H&R Race Springs:









I am having trouble deciding between H&R race which lowers the front 2.5" and the rear 2" and Nuespeed Race which lowers the front 2.25" adn the rear 2".

I will when I find out which one is the true H&R Race springs drop. Does the first pic look like there's a finger gap? Someone said the they could be the same drop but since the car is moving it could look higher, this is why he says that when your driving and rev high the car lifts up. Is that true?

You should note, there are many factors that affect any drop:
1) Which struts are used
2) Weight of vehicle
3) What motor is in the car (#2)

I dont know if it matters or if you really car but it is going to be Tokico Illumins and the motor in the car is a D16Y8.

Chances are, you really can't predict the actual drop unless you go forth and put them in.

As you mentioned yourself, even the same springs on the same car can give different results.

Take the chance and go ahead and order your suspension

Ok. But I am guessing the second pic the car is not lowered with H&R Race springs. All these cars are suppose to have H&R Race:

If you're worrying this much about it, I just say go with some coilovers.
