rubbing would depend on the tires and offset of the wheels you are getting. eibachs/trd isnt that low. they drop around 1" in the front and 1.4" in the rear, giving you a ground clearance of maybe 7inches off the ground (front lip) if you have the SE trim.

You'll be fine in LA. I've been lowered for a couple of years... most places are fine. Just make sure to go up driveways at an angle and you'll be fine.

Glaring blue HID bulbs are NOT classy, and don't make your car look nice, no matter what that kid in the Civic told you.

Just get wheels that fit properly and you won't have a problem.
