the pic of my car 2 posts up is the most you will tuck on 20's with hydraulics, not bags. bags will not allow you to drop as low, there is no adjustability to that, theyre bolt on only. hydraulics you can play with heights

newb.... Sorry, but the bolt on bags will bottom out before they slam a max. Hydros are completely custom, not a problem with slamming it with a lil skill.

not a bad word on bags, i like em. But it has it's limits.

no offense, but ive debated this point a million times before, its your car, spend whatever you want to realize you were wrong and then spend more money correcting it.
you have to use bolt on mc phearson strut bags in the front, the ride isnt the same on air cylinders in the front, and with the width of your rim you CANT fit a big enough can(air cylinder) behind 20's to support the weight. even if you use the coil over style mc phearson bag, you are still limited to the height of your rim( the bag still has to sit on top of the tire. the taller the tire, the higher the car has to sit) on the other hand MY hydraulic cylinders sit in the same spot the strut does, but since i dont have springs, i dont need a spring perch, which means the height of the tire has no bearing on how high or low i can sit. i can set the height by where my cylinder is welded onto the strut housing, OR by the height of the stroke of my cylinder.

oh, and have fun making the back struts work with air. the strut housing is welded to the knuckle, no bolt on bolt off there.
if you really have questions about this kind of stuff go to streetsourcemag.com or layitlow.com

it doesnt hurt at all to ask, just dont tell someone they are wrong if you yourself arent an expert. civics have an upper and lower control arm, different suspension, the strut sits further in, so you can run cans on it with no problem. besides the fact that the actual body of a civic is different. you can put a 2 inch drop on a civic and it looks low. you do the same with a maxima and it looks stock. i practially scrape my floorboards, but the rockers are a couple of inches off the ground. the rockers and floor on a civic are almost the same height
