Okay i have a 7th gen civic 2002 ex. And so far i got springs which dropps my car 2'inch front and back, but i'm a big fan of seeing little or no gap between the wheel and fender. So my question is i have 17'inch rims believe the set is 40 or 45 and want to know how much lower can i lower my front of the car. The rear sits pretty nice and really there isn't any or a whole lot gap and the ride is fine just once and a while i rub my exhaust system but its piping and no damage. But how low should i go with just lowering my front to make the ride still nice and not super low where my bumber is hitting everything.

Here are a few pictures of my car and its suspension

You can keep lowering untill it hits... Just lower it an inch, drive it around a bit, if it hits, raise it, if it doesn't lower it.

I much prefer the alloys in your sig though...

 

I hate cars that are lowered too much, and I wouldn't buy a used car like this!

 

Congratulations... but I don't remember anybody asking if you'd buy their cars.


Anyway, b!@ckboy... I'm not familiar with 7th gen suspension (I know you can't slam them as much as 5th/6th gens), but assuming you still have room left to lower, you can still go down probably an inch or so in the front without any real rubbing... I have the tread on my front tires tucked and I don't really have problems (but I'm very careful around turns/on small hills)
