I have a 17" wheel and it's already has been dropped 1, 1/4" but doesn't look like it has been lowered at all. Only good thing about is that I have no problem going over speed bumps or anything else. This is what I have on right now
http://www.ebay.com/itm/380932719934?_trksid=p2059210.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AITbut feel that it still looks too high but I don't want to have any problems with driveways/speed bump & those sort of stuff (I used to have a super low ep3. for people who doesn't know its was a civic si made around 2002-2005 as a hatchback) Here's a pic of my old one . How low do you guys think I can go without having daily problem of scraping and that kind of problems. Thanks in advance.

 

that civic is about the ride my swifts give me on my GE.

i dont like my cars too low...not only do they look broken, they ride like shit...

 

I was wondering something similar. I'm waiting on my set to arrive that will drop him 2" but now I'm starting to worry it won't be a noticeable difference.
