i have them... it says it on there site. 1.2f/0.9r

im on 20's so it looks high... if u go with smaller wheels i recommend u get different springs because its an unnoticeable drop

Actually that's^^^ the perfect height for me. Did you change the shocks as well? I'm looking to get a drop but not to much of an aggressive drop due to the streets here in NY and I hear the nf210 springs aren't that comfortable on ride quality.

Depends on what size tires you run. The wheel diameter is not going to dictate the overall diameter, the tire size and aspect ratio will.

A popular set-up on 18's is usually a staggered set-up in 8.5 - 9.0 and 9.5 - 10. Tires in the sizes of 245/40 and 275/35 will maintain the factory O/D.

no i didnt change the shocks... and to answer ur question about comfort.. they are after all called 'comfort springs" before my rims my car actually drove same as stock. i have always used tanabe on all my cars. can not think of a single negative thing to say about these springs. to add another beneficial fact,i think ($230 shipped) they are super cheap. thats awesome.

they definitely take the gap away. and i think the correct tires as mentioned will make it look perfect! gl
