try the eibach pro kit or the sprint sport series springs. Not too low of a drop to where youre gonna scrape everything but enough for better handling and looks.

At least 2 inches. Anything less than that and I feel you will be dissapointed. Just my $.02

I dropped my Civic 1 3/4. The exhaust only scrapes on severe inclines at moderate speeds. Im debating a 2 1/4 drop with a constant rather than a progressive setting. My bud has a 2 1/4 drop on his Civic and a decent kit. The looks and the ride are great.

do it right and get some adjustable coilovers (ground controls sound nice) and some adjustable shocks and play with them until you like what you see it will be better in the long run to spend a little extra money. besides if you just get some drop springs your going to want camber kits otherwise you will be eating up some tires with the quickness

Adjustable coilovers will also let you *change* the ride heighth
once you find out how much lowness you are willing to tolerate.

Most cars can go 1 1/2" easily as a good "street" lowering
with no problems, and if you pm me we can talk about it.
