It won't be too low, do a search for Crzy Acura and you can see it's not too low.

hheee, it's cool man well seriously, i think the car is still higher than what i expected. it looks much lower than what it was but there are still some gaps.

the good thing is i can still pretty much go to any places without problems. i havent' gotten any scrapping at all. and since i am from LA too the roads there aren't that bad and i believe it should be no problem as well

how much gap would you say you have in the wheel wells with the comptech springs? i have the springs but didnt get it installed yet.....and with the kit how is the ground clearance...i hear some people scratch with comptech and oem kit...

very good illustration. i forgot what's the original, but after the comptech drop, you should be able to fit a bit less than 2 fingers at the top of the wheel well (i think the stock one you can fit 3 or 4?). and from a distance what would you see is a very balance wheel gap around the wheel, instead of the huge gap at the top and two narrow gaps on the side of the wheel.

and as of now (1 1/2 months after i installed the springs) i still have around 7 inches clearance between the tip of the front lip and the ground. i think that's plenty.

i don't evern have to go at an angel over any dips and bumps i have come across. i did come across from driveways where i knew i had to go at an angel, and i didn't scrap anything at all. both the garages for my apt here and LA have a driveway going down, and last time i tried, at the very bottom i still have about 2 inches clearance at the tip, which is not too bad

I'm not familiar with NYC roads, but Cleveland roads SUCK, and I haven't had any problems with my Comptechs...I LOVE them.
