Well, I'm getting mixed feelings and thoughts here... Gap between the fender and the rubber hurts my eyes! pretty much 1.5" is the recommendation here... but then again others say its not recommended or i will scrape(except for n8t) what about 1" low guys? is that a decent drop?

wouldnt you guys say that most speed bumps are about 3 maybe 4 inches off the ground???...i have more problems with the uphill driveways then i do speed bumps....most of them arent all the way across and almost always there is another way around to where you need to go.

mill$civic - how much did you pay for installing your springs? and what kind of srpings did you buy? where? since we live in the same city.

1" would probably be good. I don't know about your skirts, but mine are about 4.5" off the ground. Take an inch off that, and 3.5" should clear most speed bumps (but not where I live ...the bumps are designed so all the rednecks with their jacked up circa 1987 rangers can feel them lol)

Anyway, the only real problem I have with uphill driveways is my front bumper, but since you have a lip kit, thatshouldn't be a problem.

Like I said, try 1"... it shouldn't be too bad... look at it this way: you're going to scrape regardless, you might as well look good doing it lol

are those skirts molded? they look like they are....

and if you've just got front and rear lips, that side skirt looks like it'd be waaay to low to go with the profile of your car...but idk, thats just what it seems like. Looks really good thouhg, i think a drop would be bad news for the side skirts, but it would look really nice.
