I am pretty happy with it!!! its not too much of a drop...roads around here are pretty brutal...and I already rub so I gotta drive carefully...at this point...I cant have anyone in the back seats as it will rub all the time..but just with me, its fine...

I dunno man. I love the wheels, but in my opinion to pull off the wide wheel/stretch look, you need to tuck those tires into the wheel wells. Too bad I saw this as late as I did because I was going to tell you that if you are going to go with springs instead of coilovers you should be using H&R Race or Neuspeed Race springs.
Still too much wheel gap IMO.

Those wheels are sick! But like others have said, you need to drop it at least another inch to pull it off 
Just a little more lower to tuck the tires atleast. Even with my stance i still rub like hell but youll get use to it

its tough fellas...I would like it lower too...but the roads around here are terrible...I rub with just me in the car over bigger bumps...with our 90lb kid in the car I rub on everything. gonna have to sacrifice the ride height to save the car at this point...I am not sure what else I can do to stop rubbing...I have rolled the fenders...may need to do more...either way...I will see what I can do. I have to drive this car daily and including the winter...so I just gotta deal with it. next plans are to respray the front end...as its chewed to hell. there is really bad checking in the paint(factory defect) and due to the age of the car Honda wont cover it. so it comes outta my pockets.

Get a rear camber kit, and camber the rear wheels to -3*. That should help. Because S-Tech's only slightly drop the car, you not going to have much natural camber. From the looks of the pics above, you're around -1* to -1.5* right now.

I love the wheels, but personally i'm not a fan of the stretched tire look. If your going to rock it, it really needs to be much much lower! hellaflush!
and swap the wing spoiler for the decklid! or even consider the CSL lip spoiler... the wing is killing the look!

Racer
So I have narrowed down the search for the springs to either the Tein Stech or the H&R sports...the reason being these are both around the 1.5" drops...so after sag, I can expect prolly around 2"...I have heard great things about both...any further suggestions? pro's vs con's? I will be riding on stock shocks....
the H&R race are too aggressive! the tein Htech are too mild...eibach's are super mild drop...so these look like they will be the best fit.

Im going with either h&r 's or some megans. Just because I heard the tiens will go out prematurely
