Just how low did you go?

Hey all. I need help picking out a set of drop spring for my 03 CL.. It it the CL-P model and I just put 17's on it. I dont wanna go wild. I just want a mild drop to fill in the wheel wells. I have seen all the brands out there and just wanted to know which spring REALLY do drop the least. Did anyone measure their car cars before and after hey dropped it?

Competch says about 1.25 inches +/-
H&R says the same, but some people have had greater numbers.

Please help...

i think CT is the most conservative drop u can get...my rears really don't look all that lowered 1.5 years later...the fronts, however, look great

It seems that most people say thet rear dosent get dropped anough. Is it possible or has anyone ever tried mixing 2 sets of springs? For example Comptechs up front and Teins in the rear? Maybe giving you a more level look?

I went with the comptech springs and cut 4 coils off them. The ride is fantastic, but I get a little tire wear for some reason.
