Default Lowering Measurments

Hey i'm getting my 17" rims installed soon and i was wondering how low should i go with my accord. The most i'm going is 1.5, but i was wondering if i should mix up the measurments like the front is lower and back is a lil higher, or should i have them evened out? thanx

I just lowered my 6th gen 1.5" all around w/17's and am very happy with the appearance. I was leary at first, but it looks great. Also, from looking at the alignment specs, I would have been out of the factory camber limits if I went any lower.

i have a 6th gen with tein basic kit 1.7 in the front and 1.5 in the back on 17's. it rides great and looks pretty good but i'd like to go .5 lower all around once i get my exhaust put on (i heard the apexi world sport hangs low so i want to check the clearance first). i've read that as long as you stay above 2 in you shouldn't have to mess around with camber-this is a generalization though.

i would say closer to 1.7 or 1.8. thats what i have on my 6th gen. if you are goin w/ 17's on a 6th gen then reconsider and get 18's. if you have a 5th gen then you are all gravy w/ the sizes and 1.7 will be nice
