heat drop?

i just got a heat drop today.. 2" in the front and about 1.5" in the back (sitting at F 21" and B 21.25"ish).. it rides better than stock!!! anyone else have a heat drop?

21" from ground to fender? That is very low.
You think you are in Nascar? Heat drops, did you have an alignement? If so how far off were you. How expensive was it, and what type of heat did they use? This is not very common, on civics. What components did they heat?

Ok,
it was mesured from the bottom of the rim to the top of the fender ... i think it's normally from the ground? but for some reason this is how they did it so it's all good. Right now my camber is only -slightly- off
went from 23" to 21" and like 21"ish to 21.25"ish.. All they took a torch w/nice blue flame and heated my springs.. wents over each coil slowly back and forth until it started to lower, then they shot water on it to cool it off.. two guys doing the job, one mesureing from outside and one on inside with heat... as far as allignment goes, i can let go of my steering wheel and the car keeps going straight!
i've done some more testing.. i'm very happy with the results.. not bouncy and crap like cut springs. It feels smoother than the stock ride!!! that really is still shocking me. The only thing i'm worried about now is if the springs are going to wear out a lot quicker? it's okay since i'm going to get coilovers as soon as money allows, but a $30 favor from some friends of friends... i couldnt' be happier. Futhermore, i was able to see exactly how low is was going.. didn't have to worry about slamming it too far or not dropping it enuogh to kill the wheelgap. i don't rub any.. as of right now i think it's the best $30 i've spent on a civic.. seems easy enough for anyone to do w/ help, but you gotta make sure your springs don't catch fire! (from what i've been told). I dunno, it's just crazy.. I'll post pictures as soon as i get them!

If it works great.
I can tell you from a performance aspect all the problems with doing that. And why it can be dangerous. But, i am not going to harp on you.

I'll let Eibach tell you
"Heating or cutting a coil spring in order to lower a vehicle is just plain foolish. These procedures are very dangerous and at the very least results in poor handling due to the changing of the original springs characteristic and pre-load."

When springs are made they have precise tolerances, and rates they have to adhere to, when you heat them it is like that they now longer have the stabilty or spring rates they had when they were made. This can cause dangerous handling conditions, or even spring cracking or splitting.
But if it is temporary, that is fine, just be careful
