What year Accord?

I have them on my 99 sedan, and I like them. I don't really go by the "finger gap" method, seems a bit arbitrary to me. But I don't have any reason to believe that it didn't give the advertised drop. Back then they used to say it dropped 1.75F, 1.5R, but it's probably right in the middle of the two, I guess I'm just happy with the way it sits. I have had them for nearly 4 years now. When I installed some Koni shocks, I used a lower perch height to lower the front about another .25" to even out the wheel gap since the front fender arch is higher than the rear.

Will people notice? Well it won't look slammed. A lot of people won't notice but if you posted pics here any Accord enthusiast would be able to tell. The Accord has so much wheel gap that sport springs don't really make it look slammed, they just make it look better, like how a lot of more sporty cars come stock.

You can check out my pics, but don't be decieved by how low mine looks due to the front lip and keep in mind that the front is another .25" lower due to the way I installed the shocks: www.cardomain.com/id/jschmid
