2" drop - too low on 205/50/r15's? 2001 dx, anybody done it, they rub?

You should be ok, although the back might be a little close if you get a lot of weight back there. It tends to squat rather quickly.

the backseat and trunk are always empty, save the 10" w3 back there, sharp turns might rub in back? i'm just trying to figure out what i wanna get, cant seem to find a set of 1.5-1.75" springs in my price range :(, its either like 1.3 or 2.0 :-\

Get the Eibachs...most drop without getting a crappy spring and only like $200 on ebay

The Eibach ProKit is 1.5" front, 1.8" rear. The Eibach Sportline kit is 1.8" front and rear. I love my ProKit, and I got it used for like $150 shipped to my door. Even paying retail of about $240 is worth every penny!
