How much do they lower the car by?

Do you still have to use drive shaft spacers and adjustable toe arms if you use lowering springs?

I've not and the car handles perfect, doesn't skip and crash about not even on really bad roads. it lowers the front by 25mm and the rear 30mm

Nice, how you finding the exhaust?

The springs, sneakfish said he gets bumpsteer which in theory you will due to lowering more than an inch thus effecting the full range of geo. Of course you can solve this with spacers, anti-bump steer etc but depends on how much your rag it, take it to the limit and if your bothered.

The car gets ragged alot and i've not noticed any bump steer, Had the geo done last week, put it back to honda settings and then kept tweeking it till i was happy with the feel of the car. The exhaust sounds awsome it gives the car a real deep tone coupled with the aem when you hit the vtec you just can't help smiling.

Just a hint...

I have the Eibach Pro-Kit Springs and after a while i had vibration under acceleration (from 80km on).

Swapped the cv joints and also added T1R spacers. The Eibachs are supposed to drop the car enough for spacers and anti bump steer kit to be required.

Grats on the purchases!!
Exhaust must be awesome. Enjoy!!
