proper 2"-2.25" drop

[95dxcivic]

how to do it, is there springs out there that go this low, i know i can do it with adjustable coilovers but i know i dont want that so, im trying to look for some springs that go down at least 2" this is what i want to achieve, and just to mention, this drop is not for performance or nothing, i just love the look, the back fenders will be widened out a little and so will the front fenders, and i might not correct the camber all the way to 0, i want some negative camber so the tires wont hit the fender since the drop is pretty agressive, but i want it to be a good drop not a f*ck'd up coilover drop, anyways, heres a photoshop pic i made(its in my sig)

tell me that doesnt look awesome

Its a little too low for me. I like to be able to see almost the whole tire.

There are 2"+ drop springs out there made by a lot of companies, Eibach & Neuspeed are the better companies to go with. Keep in mind the springs will be VERY stiff which will cause a bad ride. You will need to upgrade the struts, Tokico & KYB do not suggest more than 1.5" of lowering so your left with Koni yellows. By the time you pay for the springs & struts you could have got an entry level coilover setup which will ride much better. By coilovers I mean true coilovers with springs & struts not these $10.00 pile of crap coilover sleeves on ebay. Keep in mind the lower you go, the more you need to spend.

I'd go for less drop - 17" wheel and a body kit. Seriously, that looks so low that engine cross member is sitting on the ground.

Looks Nice but i wouldnt enjoy the ride!!

i think im going with KYG agx or illuminas, whichever comes out to be cheaper, with ground control coilovers, i was also planning on Neuspeed race springs which offered a 2.25 inch lowering job in front and 2 on the back but im not sure if when i get them, im gonna like the stiffness and also the height, ground controls will allow me to choose whatever i like, i can slam it the full four inches for some pics, and just keep it at two inches for the street, only one question, will agx's or illuminas handle a 2-2.75 inch drop, i know ill ride my car every once in a while low if theres no problems, also, how bad will camber actally be, say im lowered 2.25 inches, will there be a BIG! noticeable look?
P.S. i know messed up camber will make my tires wear out unevenly, but i kinda want these tires to go by quick so i can get some falken ziex tires, ill fix camber when i get those.

they suggest not more than a 1.5 drop but can they handle it? konis are too expensive and i dont have THAT much money to spend, i have about $600 and thats what the konis probably cost on their own,

i dont want a body kit, maybe if i had 18's, but I think slammed on 17's with a shaved side molding would look so awesome, and clean looking too,

A little over $600 = a set of Tein Basics or Omnipower coilovers.

If you get ground control sleeves, they come with eibach springs so i dont know why you would buy other springs. I have the ground control sleeves with koni yellow shocks. I can drop this car a little over 4" on the 8" springs if I want. With my initial 1.5" drop i could already see my wheels leaning inwards from the camber. Lots of people say that everytime you adjust your height you should get your car aligned. I dont know if this is really true but it could be. If you plan on changing your height a lot just buy and alignment plan over a few years so you only have to pay once. I really think any drop over 2" requires a camber kit otherwise your directional tires will be gone within a year.

i didnt mean that, i meant getting either ground controls, or neuspeed race springs, one of the two, not a combo of both, sorry if i wrote it in a wierd way,
