its supposed to be a 1.9/1.7 drop, i think the springs have to settle a bit to get there... the springs were 134, plus some random things here and there, like replacing broken bolts and stuff. also, we couldnt get the springs off the shocks so i took it to a shop and payed them 60 bucks to take it all off, so its a lot more than i wished it to cost, but im glad its done...

i really cant drop it any lower... or i wont be able to make it over the speedbumps that i have to cross every day to go to school, i'll scrape if i go any lower, i might even scrape as it sits now with the exhaust pipes frokm my N1

actually the pipe does go over the LCA for the coupe, its the midpipe resonator that might scrape...

and there is no other way to get into my school without crossing the speedbumps. in a few days the springs will settle a little bit anyway, so it wont be quite as high as it sits in the pictures.

damn copy cats.....another white civic with S-tech springs and a N1 exhaust......you must have some knock-off N1 because mine goes underneath the control arm and I have a Japanese badge on mine. oh well, as long as it lets out air right?! Its looks better than it did, and they will settle "a little" but if you ever decide to get bigger rims.....you're gonna have your feelings hurt as far as ride height goes
