Default how far did you drop your car?

Getting another Honda soon and plan to do this one right.
my question is how far should i drop it this time?
Last time i used skunk2 coilovers and dropped it 3 inches...
i see now that that was bad.
I wanna drop it, but don't wanna bottom out as bad as i used to, or have the tires scrape against the wheel well.
so, 1.5" ? 2.0" ?

thanx

depends on rates of the springs and what not along with the shocks. I went through 3 different setups on my integra and my favorite was the Koni yellow shocks with the eibach pro kit springs! I would say depending on wheel size stay between 1.3-2 inches max. I personally like about a 1.3-1.5" drop!

Default H&R

I used the H&R Sports on my Civic coupe. I think its 1.75" in the front and 1.5" in the rear.
