    I would say raise it. I don't like the "tucked" look, just a 2 finger gap or so and thats where I like most of my cars to sit.

    Lowering a car looks good but, just like with anything else, there's a limit to it. It looks like you either cut your stock springs or got cheap E-Bay springs that sagged out. I'm not bashing your ride, since I find the car itself very clean, I just think that you're slammed too much.

    Just because he's dropped a little more than the norm doesn't mean he has cheap e-bay shit or cut his springs. He MAY have that, I don't know what suspension his has, but trust me, a slammed car is not always a result of cheapin out

    I never said that's what he had, just that it looks that way from a general perspective. A tasteful lowering of 1-2" can improve a car's stance and help it look a lot better by reducing wheel-gap and the like. However, a 3+" drop on an compact like a Civic just makes it look like you're trying too hard.

    This is just my opinion. If he's happy with it (which he seems to be) then more power to him. I just know that I would personally never drop a car low and I don't like the look of it.

    To fit in, get with the scene, or whatever it is people call it.

    It's kind of like when a fashion becomes popular, but some people take it too far and you just laugh. Not the best of examples, but it's the same principle. I follow the same opinion with lifted trucks. A slighted lift truck can look nice, but these retards you see on Barrett Pkwy with Jeeps about 10 feet in the air just take it too far.

    Again, it's all a matter of opinion.

    To fit in??? You have to be kidding me. How does having a slammed car make them seem like they're "trying to hard". The same could of been said with you when you Yaris. Looks like you trying to hard to fit in, by getting a hatch You see what I mean, makes no sense.

    But yes, like you said, it's all personal opinion. I love slammed cars and I love trucks with HUUUUUUGE lifts. I would love to own a truck like that with a loud ass Hella Horn

    it is a nice drop, maybe 1 inch too far, the back looks crowded... but also eibachs dont go that low unless u cut them Or atleast I have never seen them go that low before. and if you paid 900 for eibach springs and tien shocks... then u got ripped off bad my friend.
