Default New Springs and Wheels

So I work at a tire and wheels store and got 17"s, i didnt want them but i got a good deal on them. I had 2 theme for two weeks and then took them off. well i had gotten some H&R sport springs to lower my civic 1.75 in front and 1.5 in the rear. lowered it just right for the 17"s but i had taken them off so i needed new wheels. well 2 days ago i had come across some 15"s on craigslist and thats what i wanted so i got them. but i still think i need to get it lowered another .5 both rear and front what you think?

It looks pretty good to me.

When it comes to look it matter what YOU think of your car, not others.

Do YOU think it needs to be lowered another .5? if yes then do so. Just make sure you are good with clearances and offsets and such.

Also how long ago did you drop it? it does take a while for the springs to settle so it could go down more.

oh then yeah they are definetly settled. i think you have the on stock struts correct? cuz you didnt mention any after market ones. but if you get koni sports they drop about an inch so you could try those if you want to go a little bit lower.
