John,

I'll defer to you on this since you've been there done that. Point taken w/ the lowering first b4 getting the wheelset.
HOW did you go about lowering your ride and still have the Accord drive smoothly. How much did you lower your ride? Do you recommend a particular set of springs, or can I get away w/ having them cut? If the springs are being swapped out is it also a good time to upgrade the struts or other parts of the steering column?
I read a thread from which I understood if one lowered more than an inch that the geometry (camber?) or something causes the tires to toe in or out basically throwing the handling/alignment/etc all out of whack.
The (glove) manual also comments about one's tires wrt the ABS that if the tires/wheels are too big it somehow affects ABS performance.
I'm probably overanalyzing - over to you!
