i just wanted to know how much of a drop do you guys think i should put on my accord 96' since i live in ny and i'm gonna put 18" rims with 215/35 or 40 tires.

can anyone help?.......

 

Depends on your personal prefrence...I'd say Eibach Sprotlines with a 2'' drop

 

yeah i was thinking 2" with sportline Eibach, i got a friend that is always telling me to get coilover's but i think the ride with coil's are not smooth at all.

 

Dude.....dont bother lowering your ride here.
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.

 

I've got a 94lx and i'm dropped 1.5-1.75 on H&R sports and i scrape quite often. I'd say don't go any lower than this.

 

i was thinking of a 1.75 in the front and 1.5 in the rear to give it a nice look.

 

Brent -what size rims do you have?

 

jgaccordex - i have 15 inch ex alloys with either a 55 or 60 series tire, i can't remember off hand which i have on there.
