tokico high performance springs, good or bad?

i found this suspension package at modacar for $539.00 and it lowers the car 1.5 all around. this is good cuz i am later going to get a kit and dont want it to be too lowered where it scrapes everywhere. does anybody have any experience with these shocks or know anybody with them. here is the page where it is at, it is package number 3.

http://www.modacar.com/Merchant2/mer...nda&Carb=Civic

it comes with 4 tokico illumina shocks and 4 tokico high performance springs. good deal or not?

i have no experience with those springs, but the shocks, with my neuspeed race springs are VERY smooth. yea i scrape a little, but when driven right, it can be avoided.

how far is your dropped? it looks in the pic that you got maybe 1/2 a finger gap or maybe 1. how low is that? cuz i just want a little drop like it says they are going to do, maybe 1.5 1.3 cuz of the body kit later on.

neuspeed claims 2.25-2.5 for a drop on those springs. i have a NEGATIVE .5 finger gap. as in.. the tire is 1/2 inch in the wheel well.

on stock 14" rims, i scraped EVERYWHERE, i couldn't fit a tennis ball under my exhaust. it was BAD. once i got my 17" rims on 40 series tires, i was good. less scraping and less gap. (bigger tires)

i love the setup and i cant decide if i want to put on ground controls to go back a little lower i'm addicted to slammage
