Sorry, how low did you go?
oh man, I'm not sure, it's probably around prokit, but without the sag in the rear like prokit would have.

I'm running 265/35 tires on those 18s....I should have checked the height from fender to the ground on factory springs...if anyone wants to do that, I know it says 25.5" from the ground to the fender for my drop

Are there any coilovers released/planned that allows electronic damping adjustment from inside the car?

I want to say Tein has that system you can buy on top of their coilover set and have that ability...but probably through their own module and not through the OEM switch

edit: yeah, Tein has that ability:

Yeah that's what I was wondering (the brand's own module), pretty sure unless the manufacturer has direct relationship with Honda (like Spoon/Mugen) then it would be virtually impossible to use the OEM switch to change suspension settings for an aftermarket coilover.

It seems like coilovers are all over the place with respect to our cars, meaning that there isn't a clear setup that people gravitate towards, at least when compared to springs (generally Eibach Pro-kits or Swift).

I thought mugen was going to have struts/springs or coilovers...can't remember, maybe if they do it'll be able to use the switch in the car

I think people need to properly delineate what their intended use is. Some of these brands exist to make "fashionista" coil overs and others do so for proper tracking.
