Default civic too low??

measured the lowest part of my car today and its where the headers meet the cat its 4" from the ground. im also installing my new front lower tie tommorow which i know goes even lower than that. just wondering i was gonna go for the dropzone 2.5/2.25" lowering springs w/ camber kit and just wondering am i gonna scrap or will i just have to go w/ a less drop like the tein stechs or the h&r sport spring (i kno i will also need shox but gonna wait for that)

by the way also wanting to go for 15" wheels and tires. will this make my ride higher?

i have the skunk2 springs (2.25/2.5) and no you won't scrap, but your ride will not be comfortable, but on the other hand, it will handle like a freaking go-kart. i'd go with some h&r's with some tokico struts, and 15" wheels doesn't necessarily mean that it will raise your car, it depends on which size rubber to go with, but you shouldn't bottom out or anything with your choice.

thanks mill but thats not my civic. forgot i had put those up. mine looks alot more crappy but ehh its a civic.
i was thinking that w/ the 2.5 in the front that would bring the clearance of the header to 1.5" from the ground! im waiting for the ups guy to ring the bell now so i can get started installing my bars. doesnt the front lower tie bar go under the header? that would bring the car lower rite?
