Eibach Sportsline Springs/Tokico HP Struts?

okay, ive been debating what to get for suspension for a long time now. I wanted like a 2" drop for awhile but i found online at modacar.com that I can get the eibach sportline springs (1.8" drop) w/ tokico HP struts for a combined deal of $419. I thought that was a pretty good deal myself. Anyone have pictures of there civic with sportsline spings on there car? the problem i have is debating if it will still look really nice and low as 2" springs would, even though it is almost 2". Thanks any help would be great.

i have the nuespeed sport, which lowers my 95 civic 1.8 inches. i have 17" wheels and there is no fender gap. it looks nice, but too low for me...my tires keep rubbing.

I talked to a guy who's hooby/second job is modifying cars and reselling them (mostly suspension, wheel, and interior packages) and he uses Eibach, and claims the ProKit is awesome. He also suggests spending the extra coin on the Illuminas as oppossed to the HP's. I apparently once the Eibach's settle they can get pretty stiff (especially on these lovely northeast ohio roads - dont what its like for you) and having those adjustable shocks/struts to go with the springs comes in handy.

this guy's been doing this for like 15+ years, so I'd take his word on it.

any thoughts?
