do you speak from experience because that sounds like it came straight off of someone ELSES mouth


heres how its going to go down from my experience (this is assuming you're buying decent brands. i don't ride and therefore know nothing about crap like arospeed and no name coilovers

1-1.5 inch drop will ride stock, look close to stock, and will require no camber kit.

1.8 (what i have) will push your stock shocks to the limit . .. mine have lasted about 6 months and are getting weak. from what i hear TOE is what kills your tires after lowering. my camber was less than 2 degrees all around after the drop and my tires are even so far.

and p.s. wat are you doing with 16 inch rims and no suspension mods?

honda dont have shocks....


anyhow, if you lower the car, i would suggest you change the shocks to something better. i finally did after my SECOND set of blown shocks on a 1.5 drop. im down to a 2-2.25 drop with agx in the rear and stocks in the front.

I have H&R full coilovers. Tires size is 195/50/15. My toe got ****ed up when I did the swap and it chewed the tires up in a matter of weeks. Get an alignment after you drop, toe eats up tires WAY WAY faster than camber does.

Running on my 94 DX coupe. Neuspeed sports on kyb gr-2. Rides fantastic. Wheels: 16x7.5 Tires: 215/40/16 Still 2 to 2.5 finger gap. About to get new rims. Wheels:16x7 Tires: 215/45/16 to suck up some the extra space. Hope this helps.

Personally, I'd just spend an extra 100 and get a camber kit off groupbuycenter, that's just my opinion though :dunno:.
