1.5 inches good drop??

what amount of drop is the best out there? im thinking about 1.5" cuz 2" i think is too much and 1" isnt enough. what do you guys think? any pictures of someones car lowered about 1.5"? i was looking online i found a great deal, Tokico shocks and springs modifcation that lowers it 1.5" for only $$359.99$$ good deal?

I saw a 7th gen with a 1.75 inch drop that looked amazing. Nice aggressive look, but not to low. When I drop mine, I'm goin 1.75.

I have no idea about prices, I live in Canada.

Stoodent - I live in Edmonton. We have a couple good shops here, but most of them are fronts for crack (not kidding). Are you in Ontario? Do you guys have good local shops where you are? Does Finallap deliver?

None of my friends drop their cars any more than 2 inches, cause of snow and shit.

In my opinion, I like the 1 3/4 inch drop better. It gives it a little more of a sleek look when you look at it, but it doesnt drop it to the point that your scraping everything you drive over. I dropped my integra about 3 inches with coil's, and damn did it look good.

But it all comes down to your own opinion. You could try www.cardomain.com and check out the civics there, usually they will say what drop they have.

got my ride dropped 1.75" in the front 1.5" in the rear on H&R sports. Looks really good IMO and I only scrape on extreme angles. Handles like a champ even with OEM shocks. (Gonna upgrade after winter)

Hey, even though I like a really low drop, i have to agree with dome. The H&R springs on my buddies civic looks really good and the ride is actually better than stock.
