SumAzunGuy yep 4 door. Sagging really depends on if you carry a lot of load all the time. If you're always driving with loads of weigh in your rear, eventually your rear will sag.
I was deciding between the Pro Kit and H&R Sport but decided to go with the Pro Kit. I'll try to get a pic of my car up. I like the drop that the Pro Kit gives.

cosmicgirl's got the rensport springs... 1.8" drop... with 16" wheels.....
that drop is perfect IMO.... it's enuff to give it a good look... but not low enuff that it scrapes and this is on a 6th gen....... and the car is daily driven in TO on streetcar tracks.... so the drop couldn't be any better

The drop is more noticeable.

after riding on eibach sportlines for a few months I'm finding the ride a little rough and irritating at times.
a friend of mine has H&R sport's on his car and the ride is MUCH better, so thats my reccomendation if you just want to lower it just a bit..
if you are going for looks, I'd go for H&R race (you will have to fix your camber however). the stance of the car with those springs is amazing.. no pics tho sorry.

the sportline specs say 1.8 inches all around, but after settling I'd say its closer to 2". the back wheels are a little tucked, barely a 1 finger gap. the fronts are not tucked at all.. 2 finger gap.
I beleive the H&R sport are 1.8 in the front/1.7 in the back, so the wheels will look even like the black civic in the pics canton posted.
looking back I would gave gone with H&R sport, or integra coilovers.
