Yes mate so I've heard ...I'll be spending that £70 next month

There's just something about Honda's, I think they all look great in white...

Thanks guys

I agree, a couple of inches lower and it looks (and drives) like a different car ..and these Tokico Potenza shocks feel great, quite firm without being back breaking and perfectly matched so no chopped spring Civic-bounce! ...the only downside is speed bumps! I am having to find alternative routes everywhere around my town to avoid the sodding things! so, down with the ride height, up with the fuel bill!

Thanks for the comments guys.

I'm not 100% sure how much lower it is, stupidly I forgot to measure before and after.. altho Pedro told me he thinks its about a 40-50mm drop. The suspension is Tokico Potenza - matched uprated shortened shocks and progressive rate springs. It was running standard suspension beforehand. It's a great feeling ride now, bit bumpy over the Cornish roads, but not at all crashy and not at all bouncy, I'm really impressed
