get some tein S-Techs, if im not mistaken they do 1.9, so you can have some middle ground between the 2.5 and 1.5

How much are s-tein? Are talkin' only for spring or struts & springs?

I've got Tokico HP with springs. They will lower 1.4" front and 1.25 rear, which is O.K> for me.
What is your opinion?

p.s.
I should ask before I got them, bur anyway.

I have the S-techs and they drop 1.5-1.9 depending on the car....there real nice smooth ride with nice handles...cheap on ebay check out buyer jdm-in-stock i had a real good experience with them....16s all the way man especially if you have vtec...no vtec id go with 15s causeyour 17's would just be taller and the same width thus reducing your power...not to mentionlikely torub with the drop
