I've gone through two struts on my VW because of the roads.
Just because of that I plan on NOT lowering my accord.
I went with a 2in drop on my GTI 98vr6 Turbo.
Right now im riding it on stock 15's driver edition rims which are excellent.
Even though the car is dropped the stock rims absorb alot of the impact.
I would go with 215/45-50 / 18.
It will look phat but the roads might just kill em and dent em.

the only reason i want to lower it is b/c i dont thing it will look right if i put 18" with out droping the ride. i think the car will look to high. i'm hooking up my car for looks too. i was just cheking out your ride. but why did you take the pick in the dark (no flash)?

lol.......yeah thats with my new camera, couldnt figure out how to turn it on.....
I gotta take more new pic;s of my ride......I have a couple I took while driving down south so ill post those when i get home.
Your right though I never really liked the look with big rims and no drop.
Have you ever thought about going 1.5in, drop?
EiBach I believe makes nice springs....( sportline if im not mistaken )
My neighbor ( 4 houses away) has a tan colored accord with 1.5 drop all around.
Looks reallllllllllyy low and on stock rims.
That drop would like nice with 18's...........
nice quote " we need more meets in ny...." indeed we do.
Ill start up a post and see where it goes.
