My car is finally lowered and I thought I would share -
Im pretty happy with how it looks not to low -

They were telling me the springs would settle some after awhile.
What kind of difference in ride height can I be expecting after they settle and how long will that take?

ps--At that Perfomance shop -It looked like a damned fast and furious set. LOL. About 6 fixed up civics and integras were parked in the back. And the street the shop sits on was filled with nice and crappy looking cars going up and down the street.
Just thought I would share.
Where I live too many rice cars zoom up and down the streets. So it was nice to see those fixed up cars over there. (by the way I like the simple clean looking cars -NO Altezzas, NO Park Bench on the back, NO 20lbs of decals, No weed wacker sounding muffler, etc...)

What kind of springs did you put in? As for settling, my didn't settle too much after I lowered it.

The springs wont settle much to really notice. I think it's more noticeable on progressive springs than linear springs.

Did you get different shocks or struts? Or did you just put different springs on?
