It wasnt smooth but it wasnt all that terrible. There was one solid bump where I felt my wheels come off that ground and was like OH SHHHHEIT...hah but overall it wasnt bad.

What kind of alignment/wheels specs do you have?

Maybe you don't have to go a full half inch up. LOL!

I like the slammed look but I just can't do it. I drive in the snow/mud/gravel way to often. Hell I was mashing snow on Sat night.

Yeah I heard about that place! I'll definitely look them up once I decide what coils to get. I have the Invidia Q300 and a Invidia catless dp, thanks im glad a lot of peeps liked it. Sometimes I think it's too quiet

I have -0.5in the front and -2.6 in the rear Im sure I can add more camber but I want to put a lip and not worry about scrapping all over the place.

There's your problem right there. Put some more camber on the front of that bad boy. Factory specs are wack and with that much camber in the back you must have a TON of understeer. Those specks are terrible for handling and in my opinion unsafe... unless you like driving a lowered honda. How much bias do you have on your DCCD to the rear?

If you're that low (even raised up a half inch) and you want to put a lip on... you'll scrape all over the place. LOL. But you'll look good. The lip is going to lower the front of your car at least 2.5 inches.
