8th Generation Honda Civic Forum - View Single Post - Does the '09 Si sit higher than 06'-08' + lowering with softer ride?

Hello folks - first post.

I'm looking at trading in my '06 Si for an '09 Si, but I was looking at an '09 on the lot and it appeared to sit higher than my '06 (more wheel well gap).

Has anyone else noticed this?

This might be a dumb question and not be possible, but is there any combination of springs and struts that will allow the car to be lowered an inch or so, while actually making the ride softer than stock? I don't care about the handling, I just want the car to sit right and improve the ride if I can.

Thanks for any help.
