I want to drop my car, but i have a dilemma. I really dont know how low i want it. 1" is surley to high, 1.5" sounds nice but still may be high, and 2" might be to low to go over normal speed bumps and the sort. Yesterday i pulled into my friends driveway(it had a smll dip)and scrathed the bottom of my front fender(u cant see it unless u get on ur knees and stick ur head under the car, so im not that pissed). lol i guess im just venting and lookin for some advice.

Ok, i have an AEM V2 and i can almost guarantee it makes more power than the sri all the way through the rev range. You really can't get much of a better intake than the V2 or the Comptech Ice box. Not to mention it makes a great sounds, almost like you have an exhaust when under full throttle. It's pretty expensive, but i can't recomend it enough...i love it.

Btw, with regards to lowering it, I just got the tokico hpk suspension set up. It lowers it 1.4 in front and 1.25 in back. I'm loving it, it comes with new shocks and springs and the springs are already matched to the shocks so you don't have to worry about matching spring rates. Good luck!

Thatsgreat news, b/c i have been saving just for the AEM V2....so no power loss at low RPM's? thats great

And do u have to redline the car to hear decent sound out of it?

Hmmm, i havent really thought about a uneven drop, could be nice looking though.

imo on the 15s you have i would keep the 15s. i had 17s on my integra and i switched to gsr blades and i loved it. i think 15s always look better.

gin-lol yea the emblem is slightly loose, i might just take it off..or get one of those nice colored ones u see in magazines. And thanks for the compliments. I like the kit too, just took off the stupid fog lights yesterday.

Wasted- Im not sure. It would make sense that loosening would povide a smoother ride...iono

rhdekhatch- See the thing is i hate the sizable gap between my tires and my fender. Do u think a 1.5" drop+15's would still have that gap?
