NOTICEABLE Ride Height
 
how noticeable is a 1.5 inch drop in a four door honda civic. can you tell wether the car was dropped at all from the stock height? or does it look almost the same.
also, how good is that drop on snow????? im here in NJ and in a couple of months we should se snow. anyone has any experience in snow with a dropped car?

as for the snow.... you do loose alittle ground clearance but i never had a problem.... just dont drive stupid in the snow like trying to plow over snow banks and you should be fine.....


that drop is with my old Tein Stech springs. its about 1.5inch lower or alittle more.

Why do you want 14s? 15 inches should be the minimum wheel diameter unless you work as a Computer Geek Squad guy with a Volkswagen Bug to drive around in.....

However, for snow tires in the Winter (where there actually is snow), 14s are okay.

I have a 1.5-inch drop in the front and 1.3 in the back and yes, the drop is very noticable. Honda should've had that kind of drop from the factory, IMO.
