18x9.5.. I say the D2 is the best bet right now, for me anyway since it drives like stock and no rubbing and no multiple alignements that i would have had with coilovers raising and lowering it all the time.
How would you say these compare to the 0.7" front drop and 1.0" rear drop that the Eibach Pro-Kit offers? I guess what I'm wanting to know is how much of a front/rear drop would you say you get with the D2?

D2 is about a 2 inch drop

Skunk 2 about 1.5

Guess I'll go with the less aggressive Pro-Kit.. I'm having to spend $1,500 as it is to have my driveway fixed because I hit my lip on it already, if I'm not careful!

If I'm not mistaking, I think the drop is a little less between the Lx and higher trims?

Was wondering if anyone here has tein springs on their car. Always were the springs/coils I went with on my 8th gen when I had it, but was trying to decide if I wanted to go with Eibach this time around. Just put wheels on the car so want some of the wheel gap gone now. Thanks in advance

Hey @NoKz I wanted to ask if you think the D2 springs are too low for a hilly area or somewhat steep driveways. I'm willing to go slow over speedbumps but I don't want to scrape. I'm looking to get springs for my Si and I love the way your car looks with that drop but I'm not sure if I should be safe and go with the Eibach Pro-Kit or go lower with the D2 springs.

I haven't scraped a single time with the D2 springs. I'm used to being low in my Integra, so I drive the same in the Si. I just angle like normal going over speed bumps and inclined driveways and never scraped. I think they're the perfect setup for daily driving.

Awesome! I was leaning towards the Pro-Kit but it looks like I'm gonna end up with the D2 springs especially since they're cheaper. Thanks!
