All I can say is that the three inch drop is crazy man. You're saying you wear out your tires faster, but I'm wondering how many front spoilers you have to buy a week? Seriously though, thanks for all of your help guys. I do have some pics of my car with the 19's on it, but I'm not sure how you put 'em on here. I'm new to this site, obviously from my number of posts.

The funny thing is everyone asks that. I have had my car this low for about 10 months now and have had no problems. The front kit still looks brand new. I am running 18s so that does help with clearance even though it looks like there is none LOL. I actually have to repaint my front bumper in the next couple of weeks because some guy backed into my car. He said he couldn't see it in his rear view mirror. (He had a raised Toyota truck). It did minor damage but his insurance company told me they would pay to have it repainted. So that's taken care of. I am renting a new civic ex for a week while my car is getting painted. His insurance company is paying for that too.
Later...

They're made by Xenex, but they're on the Axis website. That's kinda confusing to me, but oh well. I purchased them from Wheel Warehouse and was very pleased with the professionalism. They arrived a day before promised...perfectly mounted...lock nuts and all with the special socket. I'll have to get some better pics of the car on here now. Got some other goodies on it...plus clean wouldn't hurt.

It is the Tanabe Racing Medallion...the new stainless steel version. And from the looks of the weather, you'll hear it this weekend.
