6th-gen Civic ride height?

Post by 99SilverCX »

I'm thinking about getting new springs for my 99 CX soon. The springs I have make my car slammed, which is nice, but the ride is horrible. I have KYB AGX adjustables and I don't think it should ride like that. And on top of that I'm going to have my car painted and I don't want to scrape my newly painted lip on everything. Oh, and my 50-sidewall tires rub my fenders like crazy on the front. Maybe I should have went with 45s...
I have no idea how much my car is lowered because I got the springs as a part of a trade used, and I can't read the part numbers off the springs, so I can't find out from the manufacturer either.
I heard good things about Tein S springs, but I don't know if 1.5 in drop would be enough.
Let me know what the stock ride height is on 6th gen civics so I have a better idea of how much my car is lowered and what ride height I want.
