I have the sportline rated at 2.5in drop but my car didn't drop nearly as much. I'm about as low as jschmid. U will need a camber kit in the rear if u want ur tires to ware evenly although I haven't got one yet and i have ~10k on the tires.. I see some camber wear on the rear tires but its not horrible.

I would also reccomend getting a TL-S rear sway bar and a TL-S upper strut bar. They are dirt cheap compared with aftermarket and perform really well IMO. Expect to pay about $150 total for the parts u will need to make that setup. I looked at a neuspeed strut and thats $100 by itself and sways run for over $100 so aftermarket would definately cost in excess of $200.

Oh if u do get sportline and koni yello (neuspeed or koni) then I suggest u drop the perches right away so u don't have to redo ur suspension if u want a more aggressive drop.

Prometheus, you know I'm running the H&R's on my Teg. My vote's for H&R's, but you already knew that. Some of these guys have been mentioning a Utah Accord meet. Perhaps we could organize something in the spring in conjunction with Team-Integra.

I actually live in Ohio now but I'm from Ogden, and lived there up until about 2 1/2 years ago. But I go back a couple times a year to visit fam, etc. I was home for a week over Christmas during all that snow, it was crazy haha.

Thanks, the kit is the Wings West W-type lip kit. I'd love a big brake kit, it would really fill out the wheels, but I go back to 15" alloys during winter, so that wouldn't quite work. But I agree, it would look sweet.

I hear ya Newblueteg. The H&R's are tempting.
A meet would be hot. Hell get team integra, autopia, and the honda-acura.net crew for another one of our autopia show 'n' shines. It would be great!!!! If there are any other poeple that hale from Utah PM me or newblueteg. We should be holding another Autopia meet in spring.
It's gonna be hot.
:cheers:

That's sweet! I love the W-types if I was to ever replace my bumper(s) I would do a W.W. W-type kit. They are the best looking.
I'd do a big brake kit also if it wasn't for the fact that I have to go back down to the stock 15's in winter. Stupid snow! I decided to just go with some brembo sport drilled with hawk hps' pads even though I would have rather of had the big brake kit. Brembo Gran Turismo kit all the way!

I was wondering if any of you guys with 5th gen even 6th gen accords could post some pics of your drops and if any of you have stock 15"s on that would be even better since i got my 15"s on right now. But any other wheel size is still good. Oh yeah mention what kind of springs you have installed.
Thanks!
