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.

Hehe, yup! Girlfriend is on vacation in China with her family, so I suddenly have all sorts of free time before I start my new job next week (I hope..).

Eibach on a V6 is 2" front, 1.2" rear (what mine is) for the I4 1.4" front, 1.2" rear

If you want the S Techs go on the website and it will tell you how much it will drop.

my gen 5 i4 is on megan racing springs that settle to 2" all around and i'm not rubbing 99% of the time with 18"x7.5 w/ 42 offset wrapped with 225/45R18. the only time i've experienced rubbing was with 4 occupants, luggage, and a large+sudden dip on the road. otherwise- it's all gravy. teins settle a little less than 2", so it should be gravy for you too.
